McCullough said: "I am really devastated to be missing out on Prizefighter but the hand injury is pretty bad.
"My doctor has advised me not to use it at all for training or fighting for the next six to eight weeks.
"We are all packed and ready to go and we really wanted to be there but this is boxing and these things happen."
McCullough, who is based in Las Vegas, is replaced by Irish fighter Willie Casey

such a shame..if he cant get this injury sorted quickly i reckon he will go into the stage of never again senario if its going to take long to heal..he was ready for this event and probably thought it may have been his last opportunity to fight on such a stage..
Will this injury finish it all for good..?
Lets wait and see
