MICHEL SORO and Israil Madrimov saw their rematch end in controversy AGAIN following a clash of heads.
The super-welterweights were ordered into a second bout together after Madrimov initially won in December by stoppage.

Michel Soro was pulled out due to the cut
But Soro argued that the bell had already sounded meaning the winning onslaught should not have been allowed to happen.
As it turns out, their sequel at the O2 Arena ended in even more unsatisfactory fashion.
It means a trilogy bout could be the next chapter in their rivalry as they shared a no-contest draw.
As soon as the two came out for round three, almost immediately their heads clashed together.
Soro came off worse and was left with a horror gash above his left eye.
He was observed by the ringside doctor, who was left with no choice but to advise the referee to wave it off.
It means Uzbek Madrimov is left with the first stain on his perfect eight-fight record.
Amd Soro’s veteran slate has another draw on it, standing at 35-3-2.
Madrimov, 27, who is a former elite amateur, had started the brighter of the pair, establishing a strong jab early.
In round two he had Soro, 34, reeling backwards after a strong right hand found home with the tide beginning to turn one way.
So Madrimov will find himself hard done by as the fight was forced to end early.
