Delgado's Riyadh Pullout: Was a Passport Part of It? 🛂

RUMOR. Kimster has the withdrawal story (on Boxbid) and Robert Garcia's safety explanation (on Boxbid). Here's the wrinkle.

Dan Rafael, citing a "source involved in #CaneloMbilli," posted that "Delgado's passport had either expired or was about to expire" and that the Saudis would not issue a visa inside six months of expiry. He also posted that "He renewed the passport last week & the visa was then being processed by the Saudis. It was set to be issued this past Sunday & that is when he opted out." (https://x.com/DanRafael1/status/2114938556594499645, Oct. 26, 9:33 PM PT).

BoxingScene picked it up Oct. 28 (boxingscene.com) and noted it's "unclear" whether Delgado would have been cleared in time. Team Delgado's stated reason remains safety.
