Antonio Tarver News: Tarver on Tyson bout: ''50-50 or there's no fight!''
 
NewsSource: boxingtalk
By G. Leon

December 21, 2005 - Yesterday evening reliable sources informed Boxingtalk that light heavyweight king Antonio "The Magic Man" Tarver was demanding a 50-50 purse split for a PPV showdown against former undisputed heavyweight champion "Iron" Mike Tyson. At first we didn't believe the information to be accurate, however, a quick phone call to Tarver confirmed his demands. "Why I would take anything less? It's 50-50 or there's no fight, I'm not taking any more shorts and 50-50 is a fair offer," said Tarver. Boxingtalk understands that Tyson would have likely been willing to move forward under a 60-40 split in favor of Tyson. If Tarver's position doesn't change, the chances of Tyson-Tarver ever coming off look grim. Tyson was unavailable for immediate comment, but we plan on speaking with him shortly to see what he has to say about Tarver demanding parity.

Antonio Tarver News: Antonio Tarver Interview:''Yes I can take his punch"

In his latest interview undisputed lightheavyweight champion Antonia Tarver has immediately answered to Mike Tyson:

GL: Mike said he wants to bring Jeff Fenech back in to train him, he also said he's going to be throwing hydrogen bombs at you...

Antonio Tarver: (cutting in) "If he's throwing hydrogen bombs it's going to be world war III because I'm shooting nuclear missiles. And as far as Jeff Fenech is concerned I like Buddy McGirt over Jeff Fenech in the ring, in the corner and in a street fight. I'd take Buddy any day of the week. I believe this fight could be a huge PPV success. Mike Tyson has been fighting giants for his whole career, killers. I'm not saying I'm not no killer, but I'm not no giant. I'm coming up from light heavyweight all the way to heavyweight. Can I hurt Mike Tyson with my power? Will I bring my punch with me to the the heavyweight division? Can I take a heavyweight punch? All of these things have yet to be determined and that's what makes this fight interesting. There's a lot of questions are going to be answered?
