The card itself will still go ahead, but due to Bubb's location (NSW), he won't be able to safely make the trip to the Northern Territory.

It shapes as a cruel blow to Bubb who declared his intent to return to the ring as soon as he could after a heart-breaking decision loss to George Mann on June 6.

Bubb went the distance against the Scottish import, losing a razor close decision in one of the biggest fights of his career to date.

Naturally, The Smiling Assassin is disappointed he won't be in action as soon as he'd like, but won't let it knock him about too much.

"Looks like it's going to be a little longer before we are back in the ring," he said.

"We are fit, healthy and more than ready to make the trip to Darwin. But, due to unforeseen circumstances, the fight with Marco won't be happening.

"It's definitely a fight that will be happening in the near future."

Bubb is known for his work ethic and he doesn't plan to step out of the gym anytime soon, vowing to stay in shape and ready for any potential opponents.

"For our team, we don't stop working and skill building," he said.

"We're ready to come back better than ever and as soon as we can."

For now, Bubb plans to hit the reset button before working back into training.

"I'll probably take a week off but then I'll be back into it with Danny and Andrew," he said.

The 23-year-old also left the door open for a potential sparring session with Orange boxer Sam Ah-See, the 30-year-old announcing himself back in a big way with a knockout win at Newcastle in July.

"It's just finding the time to do it and making sure it's allowed," he said.

"Sam and I have been sparring mates for years."

Ah-See is another Orange combat sports talent who's currently without a future opponent, although he's hinted at a quick turnaround after the aforementioned Amonsot knock out.

Whenever Ah-See returns, he'll be looking to build on a formidable 14-0 record.

As for Bubb, He's got no idea when he'll step back into the ring, but it can't hurt to speculate.

"I don't know when my next fight will be, just with everything that's going on at the moment," he said.

"Hopefully I'll have something locked in soon. For now, I've just got to stay fit and ready to go."
