Newly crowned World Boxing Association (WBA) middleweight world champion Teresa Perozzi has agreed to a potential rematch with Lorissa Rivas.The Bermudian southpaw claimed the coveted belt via a split decision after going the distance with her American rival at the Woodbrook Youth Academy in Trinidad and Tobago last week to improve her overall pro record to 8-4-1.If all goes accordingly the two female boxers could renew rivalries in the ring in the very near future.“Her promoters are talking about a rematch at the end of February or beginning of March and I said ‘anytime I will be there’,” Perozzi told The Royal Gazette. “I doubt she wants a rematch ... but I am prepared to go and we are actually hoping we can bring the fight here.“If we can put up the money they will do the rematch here and I would love that because we can get a better turnout here and it would be wonderful. It would be great to bring the fight here and the promoters (local) should step up because we can do something with this.”Perozzi is ecstatic to have claimed the coveted prize in Trinidad last week but feels her triumph was far more convincing than the ringside judges saw it.“It was a controversial split decision ... when the crowd heard that she had won one round they all booed,” she said. “She may have won one round, but that is just about it.”Perozzi, who celebrated her 38th birthday just hours after her title bout, said she never doubted she would prevail against her junior rival.“She was wounded and if you saw that you wouldn’t even think of the age difference,” she added. “I looked cool, calm and collective. I wasn’t breathing heavy while she looked a wreak across the ring.’’After the bout orthodox fighter Rivas accused Perozzi of throwing wild punches.“That must be her ego because the only wild punches landed in her face, and that’s why her face looks like it does,” Perozzi said, in response to the allegations. “I don’t even know what she is complaining about because this is boxing.“She tried to come at me in the first round and I got her one time with my left. It’s like an overhand left and once you feel it you don’t want to feel it again. It’s not a wild shot and is something that I practise.“I don’t throw wild shots. I know what I am coming for and you are going to feel it.”Perozzi’s preparations in the lead up to last week’s title bout proved far from ideal as she was presented with multiple obstacles that threatened to derail her title aspirations.“My trainer (Rick Sweeney) didn’t go, we kept getting reports that the fight was cancelled and couldn’t reach the promoter,” she explained. “I thought the fight was off, couldn’t get sparring in the last two weeks and then got a back injury (muscle spasm). A lot of things happened that were going against us.”Perozzi was accompanied by husband, Andre (Chunka) Outerbridge, who described his wife as a role model.“She is a true example of a leader when it comes to sports,” the former Southampton Rangers footballer said. “She sticks to her beliefs and makes things happen, she is a true champion.”Last week’s WBA middleweight world title fight also served as an elimination bout for a later shot at the World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight world title currently held by American Tori Nelson.
