BOXING

Robbie Regan's world flyweight title fight against the World Boxing Organisation champion, Alberto Jimenez of Mexico, has been postponed again. Regan, the European champion from Wales, has a painful abcess on his hand and the contest has now been put back from 20 May to June 17 at the National Ice Rink in Cardiff.

Jimmy Garcia, the Colombian fighter who fell into a coma following a fight at the weekend, is showing reduced swelling of the brain and has responded to voice commands. Garcia developed a blood clot on the brain after losing to Gabriel Ruelas in a World Boxing Council super-featherwight title fight in Las Vegas.
