Tyson Fury’s brother’s fight CANCELLED just eight days before bout as heartbroken opponent issues apology
ROMAN FURY’S grudge fight against Chase DeMoor has been CANCELLED with eight days beforehand.
The pair were due to meet in a Misfits Boxing bout on the undercard of KSI’s return against Dillon Danis.
But KSI has been forced to pull out due to illness – with the event set to be postponed till a later date.
It means the fight faces just a rescheduling but still American DeMoor apologised to his fans online.
He posted: “I’m so sorry guys…. I’m so f***ing sorry.
“I never missed a day…. I’ve trained until my hands bled. I missed birthdays, funerals…I traveled across the world.
“I spent so much money time and effort and I’m not even sad for me, I’m sad for my team.
“My coaches, my friends, my family who went through this with me. Most of all I’m sorry to the fans…
“I did my absolute best to promote this for you guys. Truly from the bottom of my heart, I am so f***ing sorry.”
DeMoor, 28, has starred in reality TV in the States including Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle and as a boxer, he has four wins, four losses and one draw.
Roman is the brother of former heavyweight world champion Tyson, 36, and Tommy, 25, and has a 4-0 record himself.
KSI, 31, was due to make his return against MMA star Danis, 31.
He has not fought since October 2023 when he suffered defeat for the first time in the ring, losing a controversial decision to Roman’s brother Tommy, 25.
KSI was set to fight Anthony Taylor, 35, and YouTuber Slim Albaher, 30, last August but he pulled out with a hand injury.
And he confirmed his latest setback was due to illness as he spoke out on social media.
KSI said: “Hey everyone, I’m gonna try make this quick. Me versus Danis is just not going to happen March 29th, man.
“I’ve tried my hardest but my body has legit just given up. I’m currently in bed taking antibiotics just trying to recover.
“But I’m struggling, I’m coughing up greenish, yellow s*** all the time. My sinuses are hurting to the point where I need ibuprofen every day.
“The tensions headaches right here that I’m getting are more painful than you can imagine. I’m using Sudafed daily.

“I’ve tried sparring and training and my body just feel weak my stamina has fallen off a cliff.
“I can’t even taste right now or smell. Basically, I’m f***ed. I’ve been ill for almost three weeks and it’s just not got better.
“I’ve had doctors come around to try and decipher what is going on. Honestly, I’ve never been this ill for this long in my life and I hate it.
“I feel useless and it’s depressing. I feel like I’ve let so may people down.
“I haven’t been able to post any YouTube videos to help promote the fight because I’ve just been feeling so s***.
“I’m just sick of being sick, man. And yeah, I’m sorry. I wanna move the fight to another day because I still wanna knock out Dillon Danis.
“Yeah, I didn’t train this hard for nothing. Either way, I want to say sorry to everyone at Misfits, everyone at DAZN.
“I wanna say sorry to Sidemen for not being in as many videos as I’d like to be and most importantly I’d like to say sorry to all the fans.”
