MVP Appeals To WBA For Bahdi After Schofield Loss

Most Valuable Promotions has formally appealed to the WBA on behalf of Lucas Bahdi, claiming multiple officiating errors cost the lightweight a title victory over Floyd Schofield earlier this month.

Jake Paul's promotional company submitted evidence to the sanctioning body arguing that uncalled knockdowns and other mistakes altered the outcome of the fight, according to Bad Left Hook. Bahdi dropped a decision to Schofield with the vacant WBA belt at stake on October 11, but MVP contends their fighter deserved to leave with the strap.

What MVP's Appeal Seeks From WBA

The promotional outfit says it has a duty to fight for its boxers when the outcome appears compromised. After reviewing footage of the Schofield bout, MVP determined the evidence warranted a full investigation and is pushing the WBA to order an immediate rematch.

Bahdi now waits to see whether the sanctioning body will grant him a second crack at Schofield and the title he believes was wrongly taken from him.
