Bukom Banku has called for a rematch against sworn rival Bastie Samir after his defeat in Saturday\u2019s much publicized \u2018Make or Break\u2019 bout.<\/p>\n

The defeat was Banku\u2019s first in his career after 27 straight wins. Banku was floored in the 7th<\/sup>\u00a0round after a series of quick combination punches from Bastie which also resulted in a cut to his right eye.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have accepted I lost the fight. Bastie is a good fighter and he beat me fair and square. I have seen my mistakes and I want to fight him again on the 6th<\/sup>\u00a0of March.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not feeling bad that I lost because all the great fighters have lost before even Azumah Nelson. So I am going to correct my mistakes and come back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bastie also said after Saturday\u2019s bout that he was willing to accept a rematch if Banku proposed one but is yet to officially respond to Banku\u2019s latest challenge.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Samir Bastie has already indicated that he is prepared to face Bukom Banku in another boxing encounter.<\/p>\n

He said in an interview\u00a0immediately after his victory that he will fight Bukom Banku<\/strong><\/span><\/a> if the latter is willing.<\/p>\n
