Yeah, there's def controversy about this. I questioned it also because they're claiming he has a sprained ligament in his hand, but this fight isn't scheduled until August so I don't see why he can't commit to a fight that far out...
But then I googled torn ligaments and it takes about 8-12 weeks to heal, so that makes sense... I guess he'll need time to heal and then return to training before the fight.
It does still make you wonder though after all the back and forth going on with them.
