Sportsnavi reported on Tuesday that Jerome Le Banner canceled his fight in Dynamite on NYE. He was hospitalized because of the flu. He couldn't recover, and contacted FEG on December 30 to cancel his fight in Dynamite. FEG will announce an opponent of Mark Hunt shortly.
Mark Hunt didn't attend the press conference at Shinjuku Station Square on December 30 because he didn't know his opponent. Katsuyori Shibata also didn't attend the press conference because he didn't feel good. He lost 20lb within a week for the fight against Hayato "Mach" Sakurai. FEG President Sadaharu Tanikawa said, "Shibata will be fine tomorrow."
