It looks like Steven Luevano will defend his WBO title vs. Billy Dib on the undercard of B-Hop vs. Pavlik.

If Billy Dib wins, will he defend the title against Marali?


Marali protest upheld!
IBO orders rematch with Dib
The IBO championships Committee has ruled in favor of Zolani Marali and ordered IBO super featherweight champion Billy Dib to face Marali again within ninety days with all officials to be appointed by the IBO from Europe and the United States. A formal protest and appeal was filed on behalf of Marali with regard to the unanimous decision in favor of Dib in a controversial July 30 fight at Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. As part of a lengthy and intensive review, a panel of three senior IBO officials independently scored the fight, and ruled in favor of Marali.
