Person undecided against Kerwat
Important match for Delfine Persoon in Dubai, because if she beats the German Kerwat, she normally has a new world title fight. Person does not want to let grass grow on it, and after some quick blows from Kerwat, she strikes mercilessly. A right makes Kerwat stagger, but that’s not enough for Persoon, who hits twice more. And that is not allowed of course. The officials deliberate on a possible disqualification, but Person is lucky. As the referee did not intervene immediately, the disqualification is converted into a draw.
As a result, Persoon remains in the running for a world title fight against Baumgardner, if promoter Eddy Hearn does not decide otherwise.
