According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, the June 12 IBF Jr. Middleweight title fight between Cory Sprinks and Cornelius Bundrage has been postponed due to event conflicts in the city of St. Louis.
The most notable, according to Don King, was that St. Louis radio station, Hot 104.1 FM, which has helped him promote past fight cards, recently announced its “Super Jam 3” concert for the same day as the fight.
King said he preferred to not compete with a radio station that already has a commitment to be somewhere else on June 12, especially when both events draw from the same urban community and the boxing event was reliant on ticket sales because there was no television outlet.
“Cory told me he has been receiving messages from his fans saying they were disappointed that they could not attend both events,” King said. “On top of that, I have now confirmed that I will be coming back to St. Louis with a world championship card in August, so it’s really not best to have two boxing events competing with each other in the same market.
