| TKO 2rd | JOSE BELLOSO WELT Jalil Hackett will have a chance to avenge his lone career defeat. Plans are in place for the Washington D.C.-bred welterweight to run it back with Puerto Rico’s Jose Roman. The rematch is eyed for March 15 on the Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams-Patrice Volny DAZN undercard at Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn, Hackett’s promoter, revealed the match in conversation with Omari Jones, a 2024 Olympic Bronze medalist whose pro debut will serve as the March 15 co-feature. “Hackett’s rematching that guy on your card, the one he lost to in Puerto Rico,” Hearn told Jones. “He’s rematching him on your card.” Roman (14-1, 6 KOs) pulled off one of the biggest upsets of 2024 with a split decision win over the highly touted Hackett (9-0, 7 KOs at the time) last Dec. 7 at Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Judge Carlos Colon scored the bout 96-94 in favor of Hackett but was overruled by judges Gerardo Martinez and Luis Ruiz, both of whom had 96-94 for Roman. The fight took place on the ‘Before The Bell’ portion of the undercard in support of Richardson Hitchins’ IBF 140-pound title-winning decision over Australia’s Liam Paro. Hackett signe Jalil Hackett (9-1, 7 KOs) was set to avenge his December loss to Jose Roman (14-1, 6 KOs) this Saturday, March 15th at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. At yesterday’s press conference he looked ready and primed to put on a spectacular performance. Stating that they would announce a new WBA Continental North America welterweight champion or as they say in Puerto Rico, “Y El Nuevo,” translating to, “And the New.” He has the warrior mentality, where you take on tough fights to prove your worth, you beat tough opponents, and demonstrate your greatness. He doesn’t believe in building your resume with soft opponents. He wanted nothing more than to avenge his loss and continue his path. However, after the press conference, he suffered what can be described as a freak accident. While coming out of the sauna, he slipped, injuring his right foot. “I was coming out of the sauna, you know how the sauna got two levels, so on the way down from one of the levels I slipped and lost my foot type of sh*t. Instead of landing like flat on my foot, I landed on the ball of my ankle. My sh*t immediately swelled up.” said Jalil when asked about the injury. He was visibly upset and disapp Jalil |
