Yes he was mandatory. Steve wood petitioned the board after the last fight which was a draw. He got his way and the board ordered a rematch. Lowe has thrown it away so he can fight on his mates (fury) undercard.
Looks like you might be right about Bellotti. Hearn said that was a possibility on an IFL interview today.
Will the board approve him on the back of a stoppage loss. I don't think his fought since. Tho Eddie cud get him in a blow out job beforehand
Beefy before the Williams fight was coming off a loss so flew over to Barca and flew an absolute nobody on a gym show I think to get the win and come back. But then didn’t make weight so weren’t eligible for the title anyway!
