Former world champion Marlon “The Nightmare” Tapales has officially withdrawn from his scheduled fight this Saturday, August 29, following a tragic passing within his family. The heartbreaking news was broken by Troy Kovaks, a close personal friend and confidante of Tapales.

Event organizers were quick to emphasize that while great effort went into bringing Tapales to Australia, the sport takes a back seat in the face of personal tragedy. They expressed full support for the fighter, noting that his family, health, and well-being must remain the absolute priority during this incredibly difficult period.
