Kimbo Slice Could Get His Dream Rematch By Year's End

Elite XC Heavyweight star and internet ledgend Kimbo Slice could be facing the rematch he has always longed for by the end of 2008.

Sean Gannon, Boston Police Officer and two time MMA fighter, faced Slice in a street fighting bout that was aired on You Tube, with Slice emerging as the victor. This was a contraversial fight, with many people believing Gannon won. Sean Gannon now has a choice to make. He would love to return to MMA but needs the approval of the Boston Police Force. Or he could give up his job and become a full time MMA fighter. Here is what ESPN magazine had to say on the subject:

"A six-time New England Golden Gloves champ, Gannon still trains at a Boston MMA gym to stay sharp. He’s been a cop for 12 years and likes his job. But when the money is right—and insiders expect an agreement by year’s end—he’ll hope for permission to meet Slice in the cage, arguing that Boston cops have received approval to box. If told no, Gannon faces a decision: fight and deal with the consequences, or quit his job and chase an MMA career."
