Miguel Cotto’s junior middleweight bout with James Kirkland on Feb. 25 was harshly criticized for landing on HBO PPV from the day it was first announced in December. How would such a fight fair on the pay-platform, many wondered? How many fans will actually buy it? They won’t get their answer anytime soon.

Promoter Roc Nation announced on Thursday afternoon that Kirkland fractured his nose while in training and the entire card on Feb. 25 at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas has been scrapped. Kirkland manager Mike Miller told RingTV.com that Kirkland suffered a hairline fracture to his nose in sparring late last week. He saw a doctor on Tuesday, who advised him not to go though with the fight. Miller didn’t know the name of the sparring partner that caused the injury. “James is very disappointed,” Miller said. “He was working very hard for this fight.”

The news on Thursday must have been particularly frustrating for Cotto, who said he will retire at the end of 2017 and hoped to stay busy this year. Cotto (40-5, 33 knockouts) hasn’t fought since he lost a unanimous decision to Canelo Alvarez in November of 2015. Kirkland (32-2, 28 KOs) last fought in May of 2015 when he was brutally knocked out by Alvarez in three. Among the fights on the card that were also canceled was a junior featherweight title match between Guillermo Rigondeaux and mandatory challenger Moises Flores; Diego De La Hoya was also set to face former title challenger Yoandris Salinas on the PPV.
