Boxing champion Teresa Perozzi has been refused a release from her contract by her estranged promoter who will demand a fee from all of her fights for the next three years.

Seconds To Go Boxing president George Cuozzo says he will not even consider activating a get-out clause in Perozzi's deal until she publicly apologises for "unsubstantiated" accusations levelled at him in the aftermath of her unanimous points defeat by Natascha Ragosina.

The pair are no longer on speaking terms since Perozzi criticised Cuozzo's motives for brokering the seven-belt showdown in Germany, which she now fears has destroyed her career.

Perozzi also complained that her pre-fight preparations had left her severely undercooked and suggested she had never been comfortable with fighting Ragosina in her 'own back yard'.

Still seething from the attack, Couzzo said unless Perozzi made an effort to repair their severed relationship she would remain tied to the Seconds To Go Boxing stable for the foreseeable future.

"I don't like to be accused of forcing her to take a fight she didn't want to take or destroying her career for my own gains. It's baloney," Cuozzo told The Royal Gazette.

"We agreed a three-year contract. It's active and still sits in my draw. Out of the kindness of my heart, am I going to give it back to her after the comments she made about me?

"Teresa can fight again but if I see her fighting, I will call up the promoter and get my percentage - that just the way it goes.

"I've been frank and told her 'If you want your contract back I want a public apology for the things you said about me that were unsubstantiated'. There is a clause in her contract so she can get out before the expiration date, but I have to okay it.

"She said she didn't want me to contact her because I was harassing her, so I contacted my lawyer who told me not to respond to anything she says or does."

Cuozzo, who has worked in the industry for nearly two decades, believes Perozzi's desperation to escape the contract she signed prior to the March fight is illogical and will prove to be to the detriment of her career.

"Teresa made her biggest pay day with me first time out, there's no logic to what she trying to do," said the New Jersey-based matchmaker. "There's no question she's missing out on more pay days. I could have made two more title fights for her.

"Some of my other fighters have big title fights coming up and I would have loved for Teresa to be part of that equation. The last I heard she wanted to retire, but if she wants to retire why is she so concerned about her three-year contract?"

Despite their 'war of words', Cuozzo said he had not ruled out working with the 34-year-old in the future and reiterated his belief that Perozzi possessed the natural talent to become one of the world's premier women boxers.

"I've told her she can fight who she wants, be trained by who she wants, but the bottom line is she has a contract with me," said Cuozzo. "We are still willing to work with her and book her fights, but the circumstances would have to change.

"The fight didn't go as planned but you win and lose as a team. She bailed out on us, not the other way around. She has a world of talent and it's disappointing because it seems she will never realise her full potential."

Cuozzo admitted the pre-bout preparations had not been perfect but vehemently denied that his client had been forced to fight the "Sexy Assassin" Ragosina, and rubbished claims that the defeat had destroyed Perozzi's career.

"The fight went wrong and I'm not saying things were perfect. We had a tornado up here and I couldn't get the girl in from New York to spar with Teresa. But she still did about 50 or 60 rounds while she was over here." he said.

"We tried to bring her to New Jersey for the whole training camp but she said she didn't want to leave work. When Charlie Romano, my trainer, went to Bermuda he found out Teresa was training for Dancing with the Stars about three or four times a week. You need to fully commit to excel.

"The Ragosina fight hasn't killed Teresa's career. She had nothing to lose and everything to gain. She went up from middleweight to super-middleweight and that fight has enhanced her career to a degree."
