In regards
to the extraordinarily controversial outcome
of the UBO International Super Welterweight
title fight on July 4, 2026 in Barge, Italy
between Alessio Terragno and Petros
Alifantaros, the
Universal
Boxing Organization™
(UBO)
issues the following statement:
|
|
|
| |
|
The fight
ended
in round 8, the final round, when the doctor
advised the referee that the fight should be
stopped due to a cut suffered by Mr.
Alifantaros, making Mr. Terragno the winner and
new UBO champion.
It is our
clear opinion that this was not a justifiable
decision,
that an
extraordinary and clear injustice was done,
and that Mr.
Alifantaros should have been allowed to
continue, especially considering that he was
likely going to win the fight had it not been
stopped.
The UBO, or
any other championship organization, is in no
legal position to rule on official results, as
this is solely within the power of the local
boxing commission, in this case the Federazione
Pugilistica Italiana (FPI).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The UBO can only
rule on the UBO title, and, all things considered,
it is our
decision that the only defense of the UBO title we
will
accept for
Mr. Terragno, is a rematch with Mr. Alifantaros,
unless Mr. Alifantaros is not interested in a
rematch!
We have asked
the teams of both boxers to start negotiations for
a rematch in good faith, and it is our
understanding that both teams are willing to move
forward with plans for a rematch.
It was an
excellent fight,
the outcome was
unfortunate for both boxers,
and we hope they
will soon be given a chance to win without
controversy.
