Let us remind you that Du Plessis won a split decision (47-48, 48-47, 48-47) and became the new middleweight champion of the promotion. White said he agreed with judge Sal D'Amato's score, which saw Strickland win.
“Before the last round, I was 2-2. And I think Strickland took the final round. But it was a close fight,” the functionary said at a press conference.
