Jerwin Ancajas' world junior bantamweight title unification bout with Kazuto Ioka on New Year's Eve has been called off following Japan's decision to close its doors due to the threat of the COVID-19 omicron variant."Team Ancajas was looking forward to this historic fight against Ioka but understands there are bigger concerns than boxing in Japan and the world with the situation caused by the emergence of the latest variant," said Sean Gibbons, president of MP Promotions.
