Zab Judah has been forced to withdraw from this month's scheduled fight with 'Sugar' Shane Mosley due to injury.

The pair had been due to meet on May 31, but Judah announced on Thursday that he has an arm problem, picked up during his pre-fight training camp in Las Vegas.

Judah suffered multiple severe lacerations on his right forearm and received 50 stitches to close the wounds suffered in an accidental fall.

As a result, he will be unable to train for four weeks and has been forced to withdraw from the bout.

Richard Schaefer, chief executive of Golden Boy Promotions which has been organising the bout, said: "It is very unfortunate that Zab suffered this injury and that this great event had to be cancelled.

"We are already in discussions with all parties involved to attempt to reschedule the fight for the near future."

The fight had been scheduled to take place at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
