Junior welterweight contender Batyr Akhmedov has gotten his wish for the WBA to order a rematch of his controversial decision loss to Mario Barrios for a vacant secondary junior welterweight world title.

The WBA has ordered them to meet in an immediate rematch and given the camps 30 days to negotiate a deal. If no deal is reached, the sanctioning organization will hold a purse bid, with the promotional rights to the bout going to the highest bidder.

Akhmedov, despite suffering knockdowns in the fourth and 12th rounds, appeared to many to defeat Barrios when they met for a vacant 140-pound belt on Sept. 28 on the undercard of the Errol Spence Jr.-Shawn Porter welterweight title unification fight at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

However, Barrios was awarded the win by scores of 116-111, 115-111 and 114-112, a result the crowd booed heavily and one most ringside media disagreed with.

Immediately following the fight, Akhmedov's team said it would appeal to the WBA for an immediate rematch, and it has now been granted after the sanctioning body had independent judges conduct a video review of the fight and concluded that a rematch was in order.

'I'm very happy to have the support of my team and to have the WBA order the immediate rematch,' Akhmedov said. 'I knew during the fight I was winning by a wide margin and was stunned when the fight was over at the announced scores. The rematch provides me the opportunity to fulfill my dream of becoming a world champion.'

The relentless Akhmedov (7-1, 6 KOs) busted up Barrios (25-0, 16 KOs), 24, of San Antonio, and hurt him with flush punches throughout the fight. According to CompuBox statistics, he landed more than 100 more punches than Barrios (238-135), although those stats are not seen by judges or used in any official capacity in terms of scoring fights.

'It was very important for us to ensure that Batyr was given the opportunity to prove that he deserves the world championship title,' manager Vadim Kornilov said. 'We look forward to this fight and we hope that justice will prevail this time.'

Akhmedov, 28, a southpaw who was born in Uzbekistan, lives in Russia and represented Turkey in the 2016 Rio Olympics, was bidding to become the first 2016 Olympian to win a world title.

Veterans Josesito López and John Molina, Jr. clash in a 10-round welterweight attraction on the undercard at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES — An incredible night of boxing just got even more spectacular as unbeaten rising star Mario 'El Azteca' Barrios will meet fellow unbeaten Batyr Akhmedov for the WBA Super Lightweight Title and rugged veteran Josesito López battles battle-hardened brawler John Molina Jr. in a 10-round welterweight attraction as part of undercard action on the FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Saturday, September 28 from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.

The action begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and will be in support of the highly anticipated welterweight title unification match between IBF Champion Errol Spence, Jr. and WBC Champion Shawn Porter. WBC Super Middleweight Champion Anthony Dirrell will defend his title against unbeaten former champion David Benavídez in the co-feature.

Tickets for the event, which is promoted by Man Down Promotions, TGB Promotions and Shawn Porter Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com.

'With the addition of Barrios vs. Akhmedov and López vs. Molina, Jr., an already action-packed card got an extra jolt of excitement,' said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. 'Barrios and Akhmedov is a tantalizing matchup of two rising, unbeaten fighters going toe-to-toe for their first title, while Lopez and Molina are both known for engaging in dramatic wars. There are going to be non-stop fists flying leading up to the blockbuster world title unification in the main event.'

Fighting for his first world championship is a major step forward for Barrios (24-0, 16 KOs), who began his career as a super bantamweight in 2013 at age 18. Representing his hometown of San Antonio, Texas, and now training with Virgil Hunter in the Bay Area, Barrios has knocked out all eight of his opponents since making the move to 140-pounds. The 24-year-old most recently scored a knockout victory over Juan Jose Velasco in May on FOX.

'This is the fight that will solidify me as one of the top super lightweights in the world,' said Barrios. 'Batyr Akhmedov was one of the top amateurs in the world and has fought some really good fighters in the pros. He's ranked No. 3 in the WBA and I must beat him to accomplish my goal of winning a world title. I live for these moments and the world will see my talent. I'm going to bring victory home to all of Mexico and my Mexican-American fans in the States.'

Born in Uzbekistan and residing in Russia, Akhmedov (7-0, 6 KOs) represented Turkey at the 2016 Olympic games. The 28-year-old turned pro in 2017 and is unbeaten with knockouts in all but one of his first seven fights. He made his U.S. debut last April, before stopping Ismael Barroso in August, prior to his two most recent triumphs this year.

'I am the eighth child in my family and we had a very difficult and poor upbringing so I know what it means to persevere during hard times,' said Akhmedov. 'I only started boxing when I was 18 years old. I spent about four hours a day on the road to get to and from the gym. I really love this sport. I know what it means when people tell me that I won't be able to achieve something. At 20 years old I became a national champion. At 22 I was on the Olympic team. I was successful in many of the tournaments that I took part in. I always tried to find a way to victory. I know that it will not be easy for me on September 28, but I will find a way to become a world champion.'

López (36-8, 19 KOs) is coming off a hard-fought majority decision loss to Keith Thurman in January on FOX, in a fight that saw him nearly stop Thurman before narrowly dropping the close and exciting fight. The Riverside, California-native has gone toe-to-toe with numerous top fighters and has regularly engaged in memorable action fights throughout his career.

'It's going to be an all-action fight,' said López. 'Molina is always in good action fights. He brings power to the table. California and the world will see that on September 28. I'm excited to be back in the ring on a big card. I've been waiting to fight in California again so I'm definitely thrilled about being at STAPLES Center. I've been in the gym because I knew this was coming. I'm definitely ready for this.'

Molina (30-8, 24 KOs) most recently engaged in an action-packed, close unanimous decision loss to Omar Figueroa Jr. on FOX in February. A tough veteran brawler, Molina, of West Covina, California, has been in the ring with some of the top boxers at lightweight, junior welterweight and welterweight. Over his 13-year career he's been involved in multiple Fight of the Year contenders while picking up victories over Ruslan Provodnikov, Mickey Bey, Hank Lundy and Ivan Redkach.
