A couple of items from Fightnews.com:
The scheduled February 22 bout between former world champion Hasim Rahman and Ray Mercer is off. According to Fightnews, the bout was never really on because Mercer was suddenly not available for the bout, although another Fightnews story said Rahman pulled out of the matchup. Rahman's next contest will be rescheduled.
Also, another highly-touted fighter seems to be avoiding USBA Cruiserweight champ Emmanuel Nwodo. Nwodo's promoter, Han Kim, had been in negotiations for a bout with NABO champ Jonathan Banks of Detroit for a number of weeks. However, Fightnews is reporting that Banks and his manager Emmanuel Steward have decided to take a non-title contest against journeyman Zach Page tomorrow night in Las Vegas. Banks is 13-0, 10 KO's. Page is 12-9-1, four KO's.
