WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross was scheduled to be the commentator for Saturday’s “Knockout Night at the D” boxing event. The event was canceled by the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Thursday.
“Last night, I received multiple calls from the Nevada Athletic Commission regarding eligibility concerns. After our discussions, it became apparent the fight card could not move forward,” said D Las Vegas CEO Derek Stevens in a statement.
“Although I’m disappointed with the situation, I appreciate the phone calls and look forward to working with the Nevada Athletic Commission on future boxing events at the DLVEC.”
The event was scheduled to air Saturday night on CBS Sports Network.
Ross commented on the news via Twitter:
