First fight recap

The first fight between Jack and Mikaelian took place on May 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Badou Jack won the WBC title by majority decision in a very close and controversial bout.

Following the fight, many experts and fans considered the judges’ decision unfair, and the WBC ordered an immediate rematch.

Noel Mikaelian’s statement

“I won most of the rounds by working harder and landing more punches than Badou. Everyone who mattered, except the judges, saw my victory. But that’s in the past. On December 13, I will win. I just hope that this time the judges will give me the decision.”

Badou Jack’s response

The champion was not pleased with his opponent’s comments:

“This fight will be 100 percent different. Last time I only had three sparring sessions and very little time to prepare properly. I crossed three time zones without warning, fought in the middle of the morning and still beat him. This time I will dominate the entire fight.”
