The choice Conceicao was handed on the conclusion of 12 rounds that appeared, by and enormous to have been managed by defending WBC super-feather champ Foster, was met with a lot outrage, with some people going so far as to say this was one of many worst selections in current reminiscence. As is at all times the case on this at occasions loopy sport of ours, there have been some individuals who mentioned there was no theft. Anyway, the rematch will occur, until Conceicao bails out and is stripped of the belt so many individuals really feel he’s darn fortunate to be carrying proper now.

“The WBC Board of Governors has dominated to order a direct rematch between WBC super-featherweight champion Robson Conceicao and former champion O’Shaquie Foster,” Sulaiman wrote and posted on social media.

This appears completely honest, with no debate in any respect. There isn’t any confirmed or deliberate date for the rematch, or a location, however a minimum of the return combat has been put into movement so far as it having been ordered. Foster was really shocked, later devastated, by the break up choice that went in opposition to him in Newark, New Jersey on the undercard of Shakur Stevenson’s most up-to-date clinic. Now, with the rematch, there might be one other alternative for justice to be achieved.
