Ricky Burns, the world lightweight champion, has been left on the ropes after learning that his planned World Boxing Organisation title defence against the Mexican Miguel Vazquez has been called off.
The Scot had been due to have his seventh world title contest at Wembley Arena on March 16.
The 29-year-old and his manager, Alex Morrison were given the frustrating news by promoter Frank Warren last night that the bout has been postponed. "While there is talk of the fight being rescheduled within 30 days, Ricky and I are very unhappy," said Morrison.
