Luke Campbell has been forced to abandon his training camp in Miami as Hurricane Irma heads towards Florida.
Campbell challenges Jorge Linares for his WBA lightweight title in Los Angeles in the early hours of September 24 (UK time) but he has been forced to alter his preparations for the big fight.
The 29-year-old, who won bantamweight gold at the 2012 Olympics in London, has decided not to stay and face the wrath of Irma, which has already caused widespread damage in the Caribbean after winds reached speeds of 185mph.
But Campbell played down the change of plan, insisting the move to the west coast of America will not adversely affect his preparations.
"My hard training is more or less done now," he is quoted as saying in The Times.
"We were going to be leaving anyway. Lucky."
Campbell's opponent Linares is a formidable opponent, having won titles at three different weights.
The 32-year-old most recently defeated Anthony Crolla in back-to-back world title fights.
