World Boxing Association (WBA) super cruiserweight champion, Frenchman Arsen Goulamirian, tested positive for Covid-19 and his defense this Friday against Aleksei Egorov was cancelled.

The 200-pound monarch was supposed to reappear this Friday after almost two years of inactivity but his last test before the mandatory fight against the Russian gave the result that will not allow him to return to the ring yet. 

Goulamirian-Egorov was a big fight between undefeated and power fighters that generated great expectations among the fans.

The pioneering body wishes a speedy recovery to Goulamirian and hopes to see him back as soon as possible to display his black and gold crown.
