Victor Conte, the strength and conditioning coach for two-time welterweight titlist, Andre Berto, informed BoxingScene.com this morning of the severity of Andre Berto’s injury.
“Andre ruptured the same left bicep that he had surgery on previously,” Conte stated. “Andre is having surgery and I was told that the fight is definitely off.”
Berto previously ruptured his left biceps in his April 2010 fight with Carlos Quintana, and was out of action until late November. It is possible that Berto will have surgery to repair the injury today, and no timetable has been placed on his return and whether or not his February fight with Ortiz will be rescheduled.
