    Due to an 'accident'.

    Gutted for the folk that have all their plans in place. Happening far too often these days in combat sports.

    That the reason?

    Saw earlier that Frampton just missed weight. Maybe the boy was angling for a way out from there..

    That's the reason given by a few in the know boxing fans from here mate. No idea how concrete it is.

    It's a scam.
    Frampton was not earning enough ££££ from this.
    He has about 4 fights left in him and he will want to cash in as much as possible.

    There's a cut right under Gutierrez chin. Thomas Kane (Reporter) has posted it on twitter.

    Not a chance they string everyone along until the eve of the fight then pull the plug because it's not a big enough fight.

    They knew that before they signed up for it.

    Madness. He's already left his hotel, folk from iFL saying his "teeth & mouth is in pieces" the cut was pretty bad but from the pic it doesn't look as bad as they make it.

    They wouldn't let him fight with that cut even if he wanted to surely?

    It needs stitches, not a chance you're getting allowed in a boxing ring less than 24 hours after stitches on your chin.

    Doesn't look like the kinda injury you get falling out the shower. He'd have to have fallen forward so surely he'd of had one hand out at least?

    It doesn't look that bad to me. Would easily open back up after stitching in round 1 from a Frampton jab though..

    If he had to shift a * load of weight quickly he may have blacked out. Whole thing is bizarre!

    Just watched a video from BBC & it shows his teeth are broken. Aye it would've opened after the 1st easy.

    Framptons days are numbered anyway , theres a few Belfast boxers making their way up the ladder rapidly.
