Contrary to published reports  on a website that usually posts the same news BT does days later (you figure out which one), the expected Antonio Tarver-Glen Johnson fight is not yet "done." Light heavyweight champion of the world Antonio Tarver told Boxingtalk he has not "seen a contract, signed a contract or notified the WBC" of his next move. If in fact Tarver-Johnson comes to fruition on December 18 at the Staples Center (as BT has been hinting of for quite some time), Boxingtalk understands that since both men face conflicting mandatory defenses, they will vacate their respective WBC and IBF light heavyweight titles and there is a very good chance that only Tarver's IBO belt will be on the line. Boxingtalk.com will continue to keep you updated on the situation. (12:00 am)
