In the immediately aftermath of the contest, Persoon indicated in an interview with the Belgian media she planned to protest the result. The content of a letter which her manager/promoter/trainer Filiep Tampere lodged with the WBC has now been made public. “We therefore ask to get the chance for a direct rematch for the WBC title. Delfine wants to return her green belt and certainly does not want this WBC belt to be picked up in this way. However, they could make Persoon the mandatory challenger for the WBC belt which could oblige Taylor to defend the belt or give it up.
