BACOLOD CITY ? The Filipino ring prospect and undefeated Arthur ?El Matador? Villanueva was pulled out from the highly anticipated mega boxing card of Pinoy Pride 9 due to severe hand injury.
Villanueva was originally scheduled to face his first foreign opponent Kenyan Shaabani Madilu in the undercard of the Donnie ?Ahas? Nietes ? Ramon ?Principe? Garcia WBO Light Flyweight title on Oct. 8 at the University of St. La Salle.
Early Saturday, while the super flyweight fighter from Bacolod City was having his lunch, he accidentally sliced his left middle finger cutting a major vein on it.
He was immediately rushed to the Corazon Locsin-Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital for immediate medical attention as the sliced area of his finger was profusely bleeding.
As of press time, he is currently checked in the said hospital and was reportedly to undergo operation to reconnect the cut vein.
The ALA Promotions will soon announce Villanueva?s replacement.
Meanwhile, Madilu of Kenya will arrive to the ?City of Smiles? on Tuesday and will immediately face the media in a press conference.
