Agyarko thought eliminator loss would shelve title shot

Caoimhin Agyarko said he feared being sidelined after his fight with Hassan Adams fell through, unsure whether he would face another eliminator or land a title fight.

“I was heartbroken at the time [when the Adams fight was cancelled] and didn't know what was going to happen after, whether I was going to have to fight in another eliminator or get the title fight, or even be left on the sidelines again”
