On November 28, 2009 at the Mulungushi Conference Centre in Lusaka, Terri Blair of Louisville, Kentucky, USA fought to a 10-round draw (98-96,96-96, 94-96) with Esther Phiri for the vacant WIBA Junior Welterweight title. Blair, who had pressured Phiri for the whole fight, stated after the fight “If you want to know the winner of this fight, give us another two rounds just now and see what I am gonna do to her. I have been cheated. I'm ready to fight her again any time, anywhere including now."  Phiri's right eyebrow was cut and the fight was halted temporarily in the sixth round to clean the blood. Phiri appeared to be in difficulty for several rounds in mid-fight but later rallied. Blair moved her record to 11-14-3 (6 KO's). The WIBA was reported to have sought a title match between Phiri and Duda Yankovich, not a rematch with Blair, because Yankovich had been the intended opponent for Phiri until her nose was broken in a loss to Holly Holm.
