The World Boxing Association (WBA) announced it has suspended judge Gloria Martinez Rizzo after finding a controversial scorecard and racist tweets from her now-deleted Twitter account.

“As stated in Article 9.01 of our Code of Ethics: “To oppose and counteract discrimination on the grounds of race, nationality, religion, social status,” the WBA announced on Twitter. “For that reason, the WBA has suspended judge Gloria Martinez indefinitely.”

WNBA President Gilberto Mendoza will meet with Rizzo on Wednesday to discuss disciplinary action. The disciplinary actions can include permanent expulsion from WBA-sanctioned fights.

These actions were prompted by Rizzo’s highly controversial 117-110 scorecard in the Mykal Fox vs. Gabriel Maestre interim welterweight title fight on Saturday, and it sparked outrage in the boxing community. Many believed that Fox won the bout after he scored a second-round knockout, but Maestre was declared the winner. This led to confusion among the audience. Fox later called the fight a “robbery.”

Shortly after the fight, Rizzo was revealed to have made several racist tweets in  2020, which included negative remarks about LeBron James and former First Lady Michelle Obama.

“We saw her score was wrong despite the unanimous decision,” Mendoza told ESPN. “Those comments she made in the past — she might be expelled by the WBA.”

“I don’t support any kind of racism. I believe inequality,” Mendoza added. “Sports are the only thing that brings equality into the world sometimes.”

There will be no rematch for boxing’s World Heavyweight title, at least not on July 9.

Citing a “severely sprained ankle,” heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) has withdrawn from his scheduled rematch with former title-holder Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 54 KOs).

“About 10 days ago I went over on my ankle, sprained my ankle,” Fury said in a video released on his Instagram account Friday. “I’ve been to the hospital and had X-rays and MRI scans and all that stuff. They say it’s not broken but it’s badly sprained. … So the fight will be postponed.”

The tension between these pair of giants has been far from gentle.

Fury has been roasted by critics after his insensitive comments regarding homosexuals and the (in)equality between the genders.

Klitschko shot back after Fury stuck both feet in his mouth.

“I’m fighting a guy who can’t hold his mouth on certain things,” Klitschko said at a recent media day. “I was in shock at his statement about women, the gay community, and when he got to the Jewish people he sounded like Hitler. The man is an imbecile,” Klitschko said of Fury. “He’s an imbecile champion.”

HIGHLIGHTS FROM FURY VS. KLITSCHKO I

Fury also drew criticism recently after rubbing his pot-like stomach, taunting Klitschko, asking him how it would feel to be beaten by a man with a beer belly.

Some have speculated that Fury’s shape, or lack thereof in regards to boxing, is the real reason behind the postponement.

Coincidentally, the two men have been forced to postpone a fight with each other due to injury before.

Klitschko had the first fight pushed back from October to November 2015 after sustaining a calf injury in training. Fury responded to the news of that postponement by calling Klitschko a “b—-,” and later tweeted that he would be getting drink to celebrate, with a photo of five pints of Guinness and the hashtag “f—Klitschko.”

It is unclear when the fight will be rescheduled, but Fury intimated his medical team told him to suspend training for a couple of months.

“Keep off it for 6-7 weeks,” Fury said of his doctor’s advice. “I tried to still train a bit. I had a second opinion a week later and I got the same advice.”

Klitschko took the news in stride.

Although he expressed disappointment, the former 9-year title-holder remained confident he can recapture the WBO, WBA and IBF World Title belts.

“Of course, I am currently disappointed about the cancellation. As well as for my fans, I’m very sorry, they were all very excited for this rematch,” Klitschko said in a statement. “But one thing is also clear: This just means I’ll get my title belt a few weeks later.”
