According to BoxingScene.com, former WBA/IBF/IBO Super Welterweight champion "Swift" Jarrett Hurd will get his opportunity to regain those titles in a rematch against new champion Julian "J-Rock" Williams on Saturday, December 14th at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.
The first bout between the two men was a fight of the year candidate held on May 11th at the Eagle Bank Arena in Fairfax, VA that saw Hurd, of Accokeek, MD (23-1, 16 KO's) lose his titles by unanimous decision to Williams of Philadelphia, PA, (27-1-1, 16 KO's).
If and when the bout takes place, it will be the first for Hurd without his long-time trainer, Ernesto Rodriguez. The two parted ways in June. No word on who will work with Hurd for this bout. Like the first bout, the second contest is scheduled to be a Premier Boxing Champions contest. No word yet on what TV network will carry the bout.
