Top Rank Boxing announced Monday the postponement of all events in March and April.
"The health and safety of our fighters, staff, and ESPN's incredible production team is the most important thing as we plan our next steps," chairman Bob Arum said in a release. "We look forward to the day when we can bring our loyal fans world-class boxing once again, but exercising caution is the most prudent thing to do at this moment."
The March 17 card headlined by Michael Conlan versus Belmar Preciado at Madison Square Garden, the March 28 event featuring Artur Beterbiev versus Meng Fanlong in Quebec City, Canada, and the April 25 bout between Naoya Inoue and Johnriel Casimero in Las Vegas have all been postponed.
