Injury halts Klitschko comeback bout

A back injury has forced former WBC heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko to postpone his comeback fight against Jameel McCline, which was due to take place on September 22.

The 36-year-old Ukrainian suffered back pain during a training session in Austria and was forced to undergo emergency spinal disc surgery in Innsbruck on Saturday evening, according to German newspaper Bild.
