Simon Marcus is rumored to have pulled out of his scheduled June 9th
bout with Artem Levin for the WBC Muay Thai Light Heavyweight World Title.
Marcus who recently defeated Joe Schilling in a title elimination bout at Lion Fight Muay Thai VI was set
to face Levin at Battle for the Belts in Bangkok Thailand. The reason for Marcus
pulling out currently remains unclear.
Tabbed to replace Marcus against Levin is American Joe
Schilling. Apparently Schilling has verbally agreed to the bout and all that is
needed now is a signed contract to make the fight official. Schilling has
expressed interest in fighting Levin on several occasions and has now received
his shot. Fans should be in for a real treat as both Levin and Schilling are
known for their finishing prowess.

you more information as it becomes available regarding the change at Battle for the
Belts.
