PATRICE EVRA’S hotly anticipated boxing debut has been officially POSTPONED.
The Manchester United legend was set to take on YouTube star Adam Saleh at the O2 Arena in London on April 30.
But after the main event between “World’s Scariest Man” Martyn Ford and The Iranian Hulk Sajad Ghabiri was cancelled, Evra’s bout has now also been shelved.
Celebrity promotion Boxstar confirmed that Evra will no longer be fighting, with the entire event postponed after the loss of the showpiece fight.
A statement on Instagram read: “Boxstar, are regrettably postponing the planned event on April 30. The announcement comes after the headline fight was cancelled earlier this week.
“To lose such a big (in every sense of the word) main event has understandably been a blow to the event and to the fans.

“Due to this, rather than pushing ahead with the April 30, we have instead made the difficult decision to postpone the event.
“Anyone who has bought tickets for the April 30 show will be entitled to a full refund.”
Evra had been working hard in training for his ring debut, showing off his impressive glove work to fans last month.
Ford had initially said the event would still go ahead despite his clash with The Iranian Hulk being cancelled.
But now the entire card has been cancelled, with no announcement as to when Evra will finally make his boxing debut.
