Citing a viral infection, Argentina’s Lucas Matthysse has withdrawn from his September 17 bout with 
Erik Morales for the vacant WBC junior welterweight title.
Matthysse had replaced countryman, Jorge Barrios, against the veteran 3-division former world champion on the televised undercard of the Star Power pay-per-view at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas after Barrios was forced to withdraw due to visa issues.
No word yet on whether a replacement will be named or if the title designation will still be attached to a re-structured Morales bout.
