Indian boxing star Vijender Singh's clash against Briton Lee Markham for the Commonwealth Super middleweight title was today postponed after the latter pulled out due to injury. The fight was scheduled for July 13 and would have given Vijender a shot at his third title after having claimed the WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental Super Middleweight titles. Vijender is currently in Manchester.

"Lee has pulled out citing injury. Vijender's UK promoters -- Queensberry Promotions -- tried to find an opponent for him to fill in the July 13 slot but that did not work out," an official from Vijender's India promoters, IOS Boxing, told PTI. "A new opponent is being looked for and the revised dates for the fight will be announced soon. Markham's pullout was communicated to us by his promoters but the exact nature of his injury is not known to us," he added.
