Lamont Peterson has lodged an appeal against the WBA's decision to order a rematch against Amir Khan.
The governing body last week sanctioned a repeat of the light-welterweight bout after Peterson won in controversial circumstances on 10 December.
But the 27-year-old American, who will keep the IBF version of the title after Khan withdrew an appeal over the result, is contesting the judgment.
"We are confident the WBA will overturn its decision," Peterson's camp said.
In a written appeal they also asked the WBA to "recognise Lamont Peterson as the true and final WBA light-welterweight world champion."
