WBA featherweight champion Chris John is open to a rematch with Rocky Juarez, but not in Houston, Texas. Last Saturday, John battled Juarez in the challenger's backyard of Houston to a twelve-round draw. John felt that he was the clear winner of the fight.

“I should’ve been the winner of that match But never mind, I can still bring home my championship belt,” John told The Jakarta Post.

According to John, members of his team contaced Golden Boy Promotions about facing Juarez in Indonesia or a neurtal site. Golden Boy was not willing to do the rematch in Indonesia. John is willing to do it in Los Angeles. He wants to take more fights on American soil.

“If not in Indonesia, I think Los Angeles will be good for the rematch. I just hope this time the judges will be neutral, too. And I want to have more fights in the US, where there are a lot of famous names in the boxing world,” John said.
