Has Hong Kong boxer Rex Tso passed up the chance of a lifetime? Wonder Kid unlikely to fight for vacant WBO title
As the unbeaten fighter’s career grounds to a halt, opportunities are slipping right by him as he keeps everybody guessing his next move
Rex Tso Sing-yu’s long absence from the ring is likely to cost him a chance at earning a shot at the vacant WBO super flyweight title, with the Wonder Kid’s career grinding to a complete halt.
With his WBO ranking slipping from number one to number six, the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) is certain to give more “active” fighters the chance to become the 115-pound division world champion with Tso playing no part in proceedings having already turned down an invitation to fight No 2 ranked contender, Aston “Mighty” Palicte, of the Philippines.
Hong Kong’s boxing superstar hasn’t trained and fought since defeating “Tough Boy” Kohei Kono on October 7.
And the southpaw fighter (22-0-0, 13 KOs) then surprised pundits by saying he needed “more rest” after sustaining a badly bruised left eye during his hard-fought technical decision victory against the Japanese veteran at the Convention and Exhibition Centre.
