The WBA has announced that Gabriel Maestre (4-0, 3 KOs) has been stripped of the interim world welterweight title he won with much controversy on Saturday, August 7th. The Venezuelan was gifted with a outrageous unanimous decision over Mykal Fox (22-3, 5 KOs) in Minneapolis.
The flip-flopped scorecard from judge Gloria Martinez Rizzo, who wrote down the score 117-110 in Maestre's favor, was suspended indefinitely. Her suspension was originally six months, but the racist content found on Rizzo's social profiles warranted a longer suspension for the judge.
The confirmation for a rematch from the WBA give the promoters from both sides 30 days to negotiate an agreement.
