No
championship-sanctioning organization, including
the UBO, has power to overturn an official result,
as this is something only the local boxing
commission, in this case the Ghana Boxing
Authority, can do.
But due
to the fact that the title remained
vacant, the UBO is in a position, and has power,
to extraordinarily decide on its ownership:
Since we
cant see that Mr. Rasheed did anything wrong, that
he was in fact a victim of a blatant injustice and
put on an amazing performance, we feel it is only
right that Mr. Rasheed is recognized as the UBO
Africa Light Heavyweight champion.
We have
since been informed
in writing by the Ghana
Boxing Authority that they indeed
intend to overturn the announced result and
declare Rasheed the official winner by second
round knockout.
It is human
to make mistakes, and we are glad that the Ghana
Boxing Authority has reportedly made the right
decision in regards to the official result, and
will report this accordingly to all record-keepers
and other relevant parties.
OFFICIAL
UBO RULING: Idowu Rasheed is recognized as the
Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) Africa Light
Heavyweight champion!
