According to ProElite, Mike Bourke was forced off his fight with Kimbo Slice, due to a broken left clavicle (collar bone). Bourke was set to fight Kimbo at EliteXC 3: Renegade in Corpus Christi, TX on November 10.
He had been in training for a total of 10 weeks at the time of his injury and claims he’s lost 45 pounds.
With 10 days left till the fight, EliteXC should have no problem finding a replacement for Mike “The Rhino” Bourke (8-11-1).
