From Staff and Wire Reports

The World Boxing Organization has ordered a rematch of the junior welterweight title fight between Greg Haugen and Hector Camacho because a post-fight drug test revealed traces of marijuana in Haugen’s system.

Ed Levine, the president of the WBO’s championship committee, said Monday his organization has declared vacant the title that Haugen won from Camacho last month.

The Feb. 23 bout ended in controversy when Camacho was penalized a point at the start of the last round by referee Carlos Padilla for throwing a punch at Haugen when Haugen refused to touch gloves. Haugen won a decision because of the penalty.
