"Without going into too much detail, I picked up a knee injury in preparations and having explored every option it just isn't possible for me to carry on training. I've consulted with my team alongside top professionals and unfortunately this injury cannot be pushed through anymore."
"I am absolutely crushed. I think everyone knows how much this means to me to bring PFL back to Belfast. To not only showcase my skills, but to also highlight the talent that we have on this island in front of the world."
"From the bottom of my heart, I want to apologize to all of my supporters and everyone that I've let down, especially those that have spent their hard-earned money on tickets on flights to come and see me fight at home."
Paul Hughes has withdrawn from the PFL Belfast main event due to a knee injury, leading to Darragh Kelly stepping in to face Jay-Jay Wilson.

Rhys McKee is expected to compete in the co-main event against an opponent to be announced.
