Macklin's Dublin comeback postponed after trainer injury

Matthew Macklin's scheduled August 30 fight against Jorge Sebastien Heiland has been postponed due to the injury suffered by his trainer Jamie Moore. Moore was hospitalised after being shot twice in the leg in Marbella. Promoter Eddie Hearn announced on Twitter that the Dublin card, which also included Olympic champion Anthony Joshua, would be postponed until later in the year. Macklin was set to face Heiland at the National Stadium in a WBC Middleweight title eliminator as he looks to get back into contention for another World title shot. "I am disappointed to have to postpone my fight but in the light of the circumstances and the disruption to my preparation it is the right thing to do," Macklin said.
