LOCAL super bantamweight king Leon `Hurry Up’ Moore was forced to endure the second postponement of a crack at the International Boxing Organisation (IBO) title.The USA-based power-puncher was scheduled to face Frenchman Karim Guerfi on May 30 in St Maarten but that match has been rescheduled to July 4.

A source close to Moore revealed that administrative issues have again come up as the reason for the postponement.
The card would also feature Guyana’s first female world champion Gwendolyn `The Stealth Bomber’ O’Neil who is down to fight Sonya Lamonakis in what would be her first ring appearance in four years.
The Moore/Guerfi bout was originally set for April 4 in St Maarten. Moore’s manager Seon Bristol had pointed out then that some issues needed to be resolved before the fight could go ahead.
“There have been some administrative issues which forced the postponement of this fight. The good thing is that both camps are happy with the new date and Leon is back to being focused and winning this event. The shift in date has done us a whole lot of good as we are now able to concentrate on specifics and not have to prepare in a hurried way.
Leon is now settled and doing very well in his training at Gleason’s Gym,” Bristol declared.
