# Cheeseman-Eggington II hopes fade

A rematch between Ted Cheeseman and Sam Eggington appears unlikely at present, as ‘The Big Cheese’ is unhappy with the financial terms offered.

The two super-welterweights topped the bill on the first of Eddie Hearn’s ‘*Fight Camp*’ cards back in August. After a cautious opening six rounds, the fight caught fire in the second half, with both men having to weather the storm in a back and forth encounter.

Cheeseman (16-2-1, 9 KOs) ultimately prevailed by scores of 115-114 and 116-112 twice. However, the result was somewhat controversial as many believed that Eggington (28-7, 17 KOs) had done enough to get the decision in a domestic fight of the year contender.

Immediately afterwards, Eggington expressed his desire to fight the Londoner again.

“Being in there, it felt like a good fight,” Eggington told *Sky Sports* at the time*.* “I’m sure people would like to see it again, with a crowd, maybe.”

Hearn was keen to make the rematch, but so far he has been unable to reach terms with Cheeseman. *Boxing Social* caught up with Eggington’s trainer and manager Jon Pegg to get an update on the negotiations.

“Obviously, we are up for it,” Pegg said. “\[We\] got told that Ted refused it, so it’s not going to happen. \[I\] can understand Ted wanting more money, but Eddie has always paid well, so for Eddie to say they are miles apart, he must be looking for a lot. I suppose it’s down to how much someone wants to box, really.

“I’m not one for knocking people, but without Sam, \[Ted’s\] wage is going to be small, anyway. Sam made the fight what it was. We won’t hang around. We’ll do what we’ve always done and find a route.”
