The World Series of Fighting has reportedly lost it’s co-main event as kickboxer Tyrone Spong (1-0) has been forced to withdraw from it’s third event due to visa issues.
Sherdog.com reported the news on Monday after learning of the issue from sources close to the promotion.
Spong had been scheduled to face Tachi Palace Fights veteran Angel ‘The Dream’ DeAnda (11-2) in the co-main event this June at WSOF 3: Fitch vs. Burkman.
WSOF 3 is expected to take place on June 14, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event will see welterweights Jon Fitch and Josh Burkman square off in the main event.
The Surinamese-born Dutchman made his mma debut at the promotions first event last November earning a first round knockout. Spong had his last actual fight last March competing at the Glory 5: London kickboxing event earning a second round knockout versus Remy Bonjasky.
