With Funeka (30-1-2, 25 KOs) agreeing to go through with the bout, Campbell will still make his $240,000 purse. Often, in these cases, the opposing fighter negotiates to receive a portion of the other purse for his trouble. However, Funeka and co-promoter Cedric Kushner did not demand any money from Campbell's purse.

"They wanted to go through with the fight and I appreciate Cedric and Funeka not trying to rake Nate over the coals," Trekas said. "We all feel terrible about what happened. I can't say enough positive about Cedric and Funeka for keeping the fight together. Funeka could have not fought and faced somebody else for the vacant title, somebody who would not be nearly as tough as Nate."
