Former heavyweight title contender Eddie Chambers fractured his ribs in training and has been forced to pull out of the Jan. 21 bout with Sergei Liakhovich.
This is the second consecutive bout for Chambers which has been canceled on account of an injury. He was scheduled to face Tony Thompson in a title eliminator in October, but suffered a back ailment.
Chambers (36-2, 18 KOs) has been angling for another shot at the heavyweight championship and one of the Klitschko brothers. Without question, this second lost opportunity is a major setback in that quest.
