Due to an injury suffered in training camp by WBC Super Featherweight World Champion Juan Manuel Marquez, the September 15 "Fireworks" Pay-Per-View show promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and scheduled for the MGM Grand in Las Vegas has been cancelled.

Marquez, who was scheduled to fight Rocky Juarez in the evening's main event, suffered a cut on his right hand which developed into an infection resulting in severe swelling that forced him to withdraw from the bout.

"The safety of our fighters comes first and it's too bad that Juan Manuel got hurt after training so hard for this fight," said Oscar de la Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions.  "We are having him to Los Angeles this weekend for further evaluation and treatment by a specialist."

Subsequently the entire show, which was also scheduled to feature Kassim Ouma against Sergio Mora, the IBF world featherweight title bout between Robert Guerrero and Martin Honorio, and Francisco Bojado against Steve Forbes, had to be cancelled.  

De La Hoya continued, "We are committed to bringing excellent shows to our fans and with the unfortunate injury to Marquez at this late stage, our only option was to cancel the show."  

Anyone who has purchased tickets for this event will be fully refunded through their point of purchase.
