Ugh, boxing fans are gonna be so disappointed 
! The fight between Callum Smith and John Ryder was literally the most anticipated one this year and now it's all up in the air because of COVID-19 
. I feel bad for the fans who were super hyped about it - they've been counting down to that day for months. Can't believe the virus is still being a party pooper 
.
I mean, what are the chances of getting infected before the fight? It's just one more thing for boxers to deal with
. I hope John Ryder recovers soon and gets cleared by the medical team so they can reschedule the fight for another time. Maybe they can even do a rematch or something 
. Fingers crossed!

oh man, can't believe it ! I was super hyped for this fight and now it's like, back to square one 
. COVID-19 is still a thing, you know? 
I feel bad for Callum Smith, he must be so frustrated right now 
. And John Ryder, poor guy, got hit with the virus 
. I hope he recovers quickly and can still get back into the ring soon . As for the fight, I don't know what's gonna happen... maybe they'll reschedule it or something? Fingers crossed! Can we get a new opponent for Callum instead? That would be awesome 
. Either way, I'm sure he'll bounce back from this 
.
