Knight’s previous win also was against Vazquez, the former WBC champion whom Knight took the title from in their June bout by unanimous decision in Mexico City.

Vazquez was the lone challenger willing to face Knight, forcing the Chicoan to grant the rematch as other fighters haven’t stepped forward.
