The team behind Giuseppe Lauri - knocked out in spectacular fashion by European light-welterweight champion Paul McCloskey on Friday night - could ask for a re-match after no post-fight drug testing was carried out.
According to the British Boxing Board of Control's Northern Ireland secretary John Campbell, the drug testing unit failed to turn up at the King's Hall, despite being requested by the BBBcC.
The administrative oversight could encourage the Italians to lodge a protest and lobby for another crack at McCloskey.
However, Campbell told the Belfast Telegraph: “On the night it was agreed with the European commission that the result would stand.
“We don't know why the drug testing unit didn't turn up, but we will query this on Monday.
“The Italians may ask for a re-match, but I don't think this will have any bearing on that.”
