Lerrone Richards came out swinging after his controversial defeat to Albert Ramirez in Montreal, claiming he was unfairly denied the WBA interim light heavyweight title. Two judges scored the bout for Ramirez, leaving Richards and his team fuming over what they see as a blatant injustice.

The 33-year-old insisted he controlled the fight and won at least ten of twelve rounds. This marks only the second loss in Richards' 21-fight career, with his record standing at 19 wins. The original February date was scrapped when Ramirez was hospitalized with appendicitis, adding to the tension surrounding this rearranged championship bout.

Richards revealed Ramirez allegedly apologized afterward, acknowledging Richards as the rightful winner. That admission only deepened the frustration for the British boxer, who feels his livelihood and family future were stolen by poor judging. He wants immediate action to prevent similar injustices.

A rematch appears inevitable, with Richards welcoming another shot at Ramirez anywhere. He hopes UK promoters will secure the fight on home soil, believing the controversy has actually made their rivalry bigger than before. The boxing community awaits the WBA's response to this contentious decision.
