Masayuki Ito vs Jamel Herring? Not so fast…
Shortly after Masayuki Ito made his first title defense, we here at3kingsboxing.comreported on the possibility of WBO junior lightweight champion attempting a second defense against Jamel Herring.
We also noted that this proposed title fight could run into issues; mainly, due to Herring lacking a rank with the WBO.
Well, what we reported on previously has come to fruition as WBO President, Francisco “Paco” Valcarcel has refuted claims of the fight happening for the aforementioned reason.
Below is the tweet from Valcarcel on the matter.
Maybe Herring’s promoter Bob Arum can get an exception for his fighter to challenge Ito for his title.
However, as it stands during the creation of this article, the WBO is not in favor of allowing this fight to take place.
