“What happened is what happened,” Leskrat said.
“It was crushed.
“I love Australia and I've had a really good time here. Obviously there's going to be some things that will take me away from the game. But that's not going to happen. I'm very focused on the fight. doing.”
Mr Rescula's long list of demands also does not include costs associated with bringing international judges to the matches.
In the Argentine's last match against Mexico's Regina Chavez, Resculato won a highly controversial unanimous decision victory to retain the title.
Chavez's team immediately protested and forced the WBA's executive chairman, Luis Pavon, to have the fight re-evaluated by an independent judge.
In the document seen by foxsports.com.authe committee found that “the bout was not accurately scored” by the judges present, and Chavez should have won by unanimous decision.

The situation becomes even more uncertain as Rescrat's partner is the Argentine Lautaro Moreno, who was appointed president of the Latin American Professional Boxing Federation (Federatin) by the WBA on April 9th.
“There's no conflict of interest,” Del Vecchio said, his cheeks tightening.
“We are against it.”
To defuse the scoring controversy in this game, coach Del Vecchio sent referees from Florida and called in referees from Texas, France, and New Zealand.
According to a person close to the battle negotiations, foxsports.com.au It is understood that it would have cost more than six figures to meet all of Mr Rescula's demands and to provide international officials and accommodations.
Del Vecchio understands that world champion status leaves him with room for some arrogance and cockiness.

“She's a world champion, so we've been very respectful and very sensitive to everything she does and everything she asks,” Del Vecchio said.
“But she keeps mentioning contracts for things like transportation and hotel rooms with gyms and kitchens.
“Sorry, that's not in the contract. It's there, black and white. If her team lied to her, that's great, but it has nothing to do with us. We met all lines of communication, she got what she deserved and got what we agreed upon.
“She walks around town just like herself and, to be fair, carries herself the way you want to carry yourself as a world champion.
“But what about that antics and everything else that goes along with it? That's just deplorable.”
Resculato and her team have been contacted for comment.
