Joey Canoy was scheduled to challenge Oscar Collazo this weekend, but the challenger is currently prohibited from entering the United States.

Puerto Rico’s Collazo has established himself as the man to beat in the minimum division, and his regular activity and lofty ambitions make him a must-see on the 105-pound scene.

Collazo stopped Melvin Jerusalem in May 2023 and has since defended the belt seven times, including a title unification with then-WBA champion Knockout CP Freshmart, also known as Thammanoon Niyomtrong, in November 2024.

Since defeating the Thai champion, Collazo has defended the unified title a total of three times and was scheduled to face Filipino Canoy 25-5-2 (15 KO) on Saturday night.

The duo was scheduled to headline at the Frontwave Arena in California, where standout amateurs Ruslan Abdullaev and Joshua Edwards will also appear on the Golden Boy card.

However, even though the event is just days away, Canoy has not yet been able to travel to the United States due to visa complications and will withdraw from the fight “if he cannot fly to America by Thursday evening,” he claims Daily Tribune.

“As of Monday afternoon, Canoy was still waiting for his U.S. visa to be issued. Sources say that if Canoy cannot fly to America by Thursday evening, he will simply remain in the country.

“The official weigh-in is scheduled for Friday. Canoy’s travel documents were submitted to the U.S. Embassy over three weeks ago.”

Canoy has fought abroad in the past, in both South Africa and Japan, but it is believed that recently tightened US immigration policy combined with a delay in announcing the venue may be to blame for this ongoing problem.

The latest update from WBO president Gustavo Olivieri shows that Canoy indeed missed his shot and was replaced by Mexico’s Luis Castillo.

Discussing the situation, Simon Jordan questioned whether White’s involvement would actually facilitate get the team over the line.

“Do we think Dana flapping his gums will facilitate in the fight that still seems to be a bit up in the air?” Jordan said on talkSPORT Boxing, debating Fury’s future and the growing influence of Zuffa Boxing.

The broadcaster suggested that the situation is becoming more complicated due to the various parties already involved in the fight, including Riyadh Season, Queensberry and TKO.

Jordan believes the biggest concern is not whether Fury and Joshua want the fight, but whether the business interests surrounding it could delay or derail progress.

“I worry that politics will get in the way of this fight,” Simon said.

Despite concerns that Fury could walk away from longtime promoter Frank Warren, Jordan argued that existing contractual and commercial arrangements could make a neat break impossible.

He suggested that Queensberry could still remain involved behind the scenes, especially if Fury takes a booster fight ahead of his fight with Joshua.

Other panelists asked questions about how the move to Zuffa might impact existing contracts and where the fight will ultimately take place. There has already been speculation that the Fury-Joshua fight could be staged outside the UK, despite previous suggestions that Wembley Stadium would be the preferred destination.

Although Jordan was aware of the growing uncertainty, he did not predict that the fight would end in a fiasco.

“There is too much money in this fight for this not to happen,” Jordan said.

Fury is expected to return for a warm-up at the end of the summer before taking on the fight against Joshua that remains one of the biggest attractions in world boxing.

Jaron Ennis is scheduled to challenge for the unified super welterweight world title this month in hopes of starting an undisputed title run, and Terence Crawford shared whether he believes “Boots” can win all four belts at 154 pounds.

Ennis won both the IBF and WBA welterweight world titles previously held by Crawford, and in October he moved to the super welterweight scene, where He stopped Uisma Lima in the first round announce himself as a threat to the throne.

Now, in his second fight at the weight, Ennis is set to collide with unified WBA and WBO world champion Xander Zayas, and Crawford told Jai McAllister he expects his US compatriot to emerge victorious.

“Man, it’s a tough fight, especially for Xander at this point in his career, but it shows his heart and self-belief. He’s ready to make history for his country and he’ll do really well in this fight.”

“I just think it’s a little too early for him at the moment.”

If Ennis is able to hand Zayas his first career defeat and claim the unified titles, fellow champions Josh Kelly (IBF) and Sebastian Fundora (WBC) will be his next obstacles.

Crawford believes the road to undisputed “Boots” status will likely end with Fundora.

Zayas-Ennis will take place on Saturday, June 27 at the Barclays Center in Modern York. Fundora is coming off a stoppage win over Keith Thurman and is set to make another defense later this year, though no opponent has been named as of this writing.

Kelly is expected to make his first defense of the IBF belt against Belfast’s Caoimhin Agyarko following the Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga card on July 25.
