The WBC 108lbs titlist is no longer able to commit to a December 4 defense against Thammanoon Niyomtrong in Bangkok, Thailand. An air travel ban in Canizales’ native Venezuela has resulted in multiple flights being canceled which has affected more than 8,000 passengers as of Thursday. Among those forced to pay the price was Canizales, 28-3-1 (20 KOs), who expected to make the trip on Thursday. His bout versus Niyomtrong – a former long-reigning strawweight titlist – was due to headline a show as part of the 63rd annual WBC convention in Bangkok.
