UK heavyweights Martin Rogan and Sam Sexton are set for their grudge rematch in September at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, according to promoter Frank Warren. A tentative date of September 11 is being looked at.
"The rematch has to happen because of the way the fight was stopped. The public are demanding it and we have to deliver it,” Warren told the Belfast Telegraph.
The fight, which took place last Friday in Belfast, ended in cotroversial fashion. Rogan was on the verge of stopping Sexton in the eight round. During a barrage of punches, Rogan stepped back to allow the ref to stop the fight, but instead the ref felt that Rogan's eye had taken too much punishment and gave Sexton the win by stopping the contest.
