Lamont Peterson will remain the IBF titleholder as a result of Golden Boy Promotions withdrawing its appeal of his split-decision victory over Amir Khan on Dec. 10.
Lamont Peterson has 10 days to appeal the WBA's order for an immediate rematch with Amir Khan.
Lamont Peterson must take a return bout against Amir Khan in accordance with an official letter from the WBA.
Barry Hunter: "Khan blames everyone and everything but his performance and lack of ability to make adjustments in the ring for his loss."
Mustafa Ameen: "I look forward to answering the false allegations that I interfered with the WBA Supervisor, and somehow tainted the scorecards."
