John Zile of Ghana has requested for a rematch after his sad lose to Siyabulela ‘Showtime’ Hem of South Africa for the WBO Youth title.
Immediately after the bout which ended in a controversial decision, 97-92, 96-93, 96-93, Zile said he felt he won, and would love to fight the declared winner again.
He said he got a very short notice and could not prepare adequately, however if he is given enough time he believes he can beat his opponent.
This is the second time a boxer from the Bronx Gym in Accra, Ghana has lost an international opportunity after Felix Ajom also lost in Namibia for the WBO Africa Super Featherweight title.
Ghana’s Zile B John (14 -2 -2) suffered his most painful defeat in his career to Siyabulela ‘Showtime’ Hem of South Africa who annexed the WBO youth world junior featherweight title on Friday night at Border Conference Centre in Abbotsford, East London.
