World Boxing Assn. cruiserweight champion Bobby Czyz was struck by a car in West Orange, N.J., and won’t be able to defend his title against top-ranked contender Orlin Norris on April 23 at Memphis.

Czyz said he suffered a mild concussion, a strained lower back, bruised ribs, a bruised hip bone and tendinitis in his right wrist and shoulder when a car skidded into him while he was walking on an icy road.
