Vermola pulls out of fight with Grove 05 Dec 2009 Carlos Vermola has apparently pulled out of his fight tonight at the Troxy against Neil Grove. Grove posted the following message to his Facebook friends.

dear fans and friends...

i dont know where to begin or how to put it in words...
for the 2nd time in 4 months, my opponent has pulled out!

i am quoting a close source-
'Dave (president of ucuk) knew nothing about it until this evening. They (london shoot) was kicking the shit out of him for ages & kept telling him he wasn't good enough. He had flu 2 weeks ago but went back training this week & they through him in with a shit hot muay thai guy who murdered his legs. so lon shoot said if he fights they will have no part of it. His manager told him he offered to pull out, but on wed he said he still wanted to fight. Apparently some guy from lond shoot was supposed to tell dave on wed but no one called. On fri night the message gets across with the message that james thompson will take over. Think that's a bit odd or what?'

i would like to make this clear, I WILL NEVER FIGHT JAMES THOMPSON, OR ANY FIGHTER OUT OF LONDON SHOOT FIGHTERS, FOR TRYING TO CONTRIVE A REMATCH BETWEEN ME AND JT! HE HASN'T WON A FIGHT IN 3 YEARS!

anyway... i have vented!!! haha! see you at the troxy tonight!
