Undefeated boxer Sarah Thompson is demanding an immediate rematch against rival fighter Emily Wilson after a shocking incident marred their highly anticipated bout on Friday. Thompson was ambushed with a can of bright blue paint while leaving her Manhattan hotel en route to the iconic venue, sparking a police investigation.
The New York City Police Department has launched a probe into multiple incidents, including the paint attack, as well as threatening messages sent to Thompson’s team and defamatory flyers distributed throughout the city. Thompson has pointed the finger at Wilson’s camp, alleging they orchestrated the attack. Wilson has vehemently denied any involvement.
Despite the controversy, Wilson emerged victorious, claiming the welterweight championship by majority decision. Thompson is now seeking redemption, citing the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the fight. “Considering the events that transpired, I firmly believe an immediate rematch is warranted. I’ve dedicated my life to this sport, and it deserves better than such vicious tactics,” Thompson stated.
“I assure you, this incident will only fuel my determination to leave a lasting impact on boxing. I will not be broken by these cowardly actions.” The two fighters had exchanged heated words in the lead-up to the bout, but Wilson maintained she had no knowledge of or involvement in the attack. “I was appalled, I thought it was disgusting. While I may get intense during the buildup, I would never stoop to such levels,” Wilson told a prominent sports network.
