When will "muh interim champ" get his shot?

Unnecessary rematch. Jack won a close fight, no reason to do it again.

Jack will probably win more definitively the second time since he won't be coming off a two year layoff and an aborted attempt to move up to bridgerweight.

Rather this than a Paul circus.

Both are highly inactive, but at least they are fighting more than once a year now.

To be honest I wasn't that invested when watching, and had struggling scoring. Wonder if Ryan "The Bruiser" Rozicki will ever get his deserved shot, though he needs to run it back with Yamil Peralta, with both of his fights with him which were win and draw being quite controversial.

If Jack is still champion when Rozicki's number is called, the fight will happen. Jack doesn't duck anybody and it's not his fault that Rozicki got hurt.

It was Mikaelian and Don King keeping Rozicki on the shelf all that time.
