Andre Berto has been forced to call off his highly-anticipated clash with Victor Ortiz after suffering a serious injury in training.
Berto (28-1 22KOs) ruptured his biceps while sparring and may be forced to undergo surgery this week, meaning the clash scheduled for February 11 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas is now off.
Reports suggest Berto hurt his arm throwing a hook to the head of sparring partner Tureano Johnson and it is not clear how long it will take him to recover.
The first fight between the two last April saw both of them visit the canvas, before 25-year-old Ortiz (29-3-2, 22 KOs) secured a unanimous points decision victory to take Berto's WBC welterweight belt.
It set him up for the biggest fight of his career against Floyd Mayweather last September, but Ortiz was stopped in the fourth round.
