Badou Jack and Noel Mikaelian raring for rematch 

Former world champion Badou Jack and German contender Noel Mikaelian will meet again on December 13 at Ace Mission Studios in Los Angeles, in a highly anticipated rematch for the WBC Cruiserweight World Title.

The two first met in May of this year, when Jack won a close majority decision in Saudi Arabia. That fight left unfinished business and fueled demand for a rematch, which will now take place before the end of 2025.

The bout will headline “Championing Mental Health presents: CMH 2 – Rematch Season”, with the prestigious Green and Gold Belt once again at stake.

At 41, Jack aims to reaffirm his vintage dominance and prove he remains one of the division’s most consistent fighters. Meanwhile, Mikaelian enters camp determined to avenge his loss and capitalize on a full training cycle devoted to strategy and endurance.

With Jack’s technical precision against Mikaelian’s constant pressure, this rematch promises intensity from the opening bell. With the WBC title on the line, their second clash could be one of the year’s final defining moments in the cruiserweight division.
