I am MASSIVELY disappointed to have to announce that John Brzenk has been forced out of his scheduled Supermatch Vs. defending overall Canadian & ARM WARS Champion "NO LIMITS" DEVON LARRATT through wrist injury.
After travelling to London, England to conduct a seminar at the SENI COMBAT SPORTS SHOW at EXCEL www.senishow.com in the London Docklands it became clear that John's right wrist was in serious and continuous discomfort.
The idea behind BRZENK Vs LARRATT for DEVON's ARM WARS PROFESSIONAL HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE was always that both men would be in their best respective form and injury free therefore the decision was jointly taken by John and myself to temporarily postpone the match until both athletes are fully fit to compete at their peak. I am currently in discussion with Mandalay Bay Casino Las Vegas to have this happen there later in the year.
Whilst this is a MASSIVE BLOW to myself personally as well as to Armwrestling I certainly would never ask any athlete least of all one whom I consider a close friend like John to pull with an injury. I also truly believe that unless John had been fully fit and able to use all his skills, that Devon would have defeated him comfortably in Manchester. Therefore we will do it when both are ready for THUNDER & LIGHTNING !!! until then I AM GUTTED to have lost a match that I have invested time, effort and a considerable amount of money into promoting from ARM WARS XI.
Concentrating on the ARM WARS XI event however in the absence of another credible opponent at this stage. It is a man from the USA who will be representing the Challenge for Devon's Super Heavyweight title and its one of America's VERY BEST and indeed the World's VERY BEST as "THE BEAST" TRAVIS BAGENT has stepped up to accept the challenge on the Right Arm as well as his Left Arm at The Trafford Centre.
Its a BAGENT vs LARRATT double header as "REPUTATIONS" are firmly put on the line in front of an estimated potential TV audience of 230 Million viewers Worldwide.
