According to the rules of the tournament, this meeting will have to be held early next year.

The judges score: 116-110, 115-111 and 114-112.

In general Briedis was more accurate in this fight. Perez despite long layoff was in a very good shape, he constantly went ahead but he wasn’t persistent in his attacks.
