Geoff Neal has withdrawn from his fight against Shavkhat Rakhmonov on January 14th due to an undisclosed injury, per Marcel Dorff via Igor Lazorin.

Shavkhat hinted that Neal might not make it to the fight on social media when he responded to a statement that he could ‘end Shavkhat’s hype.’

> Show up, then. - Rakhmonov tells Neal to show up to their fight via Twitter. 

Neal was the only ranked fighter willing to accept a fight with Rakhmonov after his last fight. He’ll likely have an even harder time finding an opponent on short notice.
