Boxer Glen Johnson's camp to protest Clinton Woods' win
Boxer Glen Johnson's camp is planning to protest against the decision to award Clinton Woods the win in their light heavyweight clash last weekend.
Glen Johnson's promoters, Warriors Boxing, state that one of Clinton Woods' team broke International Boxing Federation (IBF) rules by attempting to climb into the ring during the fight.
Head of Warriors Boxing Leon Margules said: "We intend on filing a protest.
"Glen Johnson should be crowned the victor or they should order an immediate rematch."
And IBF regulations state: "If any cornerperson stands on the apron or enters the ring during a round, the referee shall disqualify the boxer."
Clinton Woods' promoter Dennis Hobson admitted he had made a short dash to get to his boxer's corner during the ninth round but he insists he went back to his chair after being ordered to do so by the referee. Dennis Hobson believes the threat from Glen Johnson's team is nothing more than hot air.
