It’s not quite the worst-case scenario, but one of Desert Force 19’s most heavily-hyped bouts of 2015 might be on the brink of mishap.

According to the welterweight challenger Jarrah Al Selawe, he suffered a lower back injury during training last week, placing his title fight against Mounir Lazzez in jeopardy. Desert Force officials have yet to make an announcement regarding Jarrah’s injury and the status of the fight.

Desert Force 19 takes place in Cairo this December. In addition to the proposed Lazzez-Jarrah scrap, the event features a middleweight title headliner between Ibrahim El Sawi and Mohammad Karaki, marking the Al Academiya season 3 finale.

So now we got a welterweight champion waiting for a challenger to step up and seize this opportunity. With Jarrah out, it’s now up to Farkhreddine to try and shake the grounds of Lazzez’s title and swipe it from his grasp. However, no official statements or comments have been proclaimed by Desert Force or Fakhreddine.

    • 90% he will not be back … he suffered two bad injuries in his face and it could be risky to get back.
      if doctors say that it is risky, I do not want to see him back bcaz I am one of his fan.

  • Jarah is not injured
    DF will have him as a coach for al academya next season to make it a good show….team lazaz VS team silawe

    And we all know that if fakhro and lazaz actually fights….lazaz will keep the title

    Who agrees with me ????

    Btw the “injured” jarah is just starting to train in a new gym in Jordan…he recently posted that on fb

    • I am not sure about his injury .. moving to a new gym does not mean that he is not injured ))

      • He is not moving to a new gym…he is starting to give classes 2 days after his “injury”. (As he posted)

        Anyhow team lazaz VS team silawi would be a great show if it really happens
