Glenn Sparv (11-3) was booked for a high profile bout against Korean MMA star Cha Jung Hwan (11-6-3) for the 1st ever welterweight Pacific Rim Organized Fighting Championship (PRO FC) belt, but yesterday the bout was officially called off due to an knee injury.
“It happened 3 weeks ago, so it would maybe be healed up until the fight, but I cant wrestle or grapple for 5-6 weeks so its not really possible to get some good preparations that is needed for this fight. ” says Sparv to MMAViking.com from AKA Thailand as the news became public that the fight would not be happening.
The bout was to take place in Taiwan on May 9th and was a bit of a return for the organization that hasn’t put on a show since May 2014 with PRO FC 9.
“I´m able to do boxing and conditioning and biceps curls so I´m staying in shape and I´ll be ready to rumble soon again.”
Sparv is riding a four fight winning streak. In his last bout, he took out striker Chen Lhong Sing Prasert in the first round in February. The AKA Thailand based fighter defended his CAGE title versus Johan Vanttinen back in November. He is ranked #5 in the Nordics by MMAViking.com.
