Tarver-Muriqi in discussion!

Sources close to the situation have informed Boxingtalk.com that Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing has been discussing a potential Antonio Tarver-Elvir Muriqi bout with HBO. As BT readers should know Tarver is planning a February 24 return to the ring. In recent interviews, Tarver has told Boxingtalk that he intended to secure a "tune-up" before moving on to make the "marquee events we're used to seeing him in."  It has been rumored that Mike Arnaoutis could return in the co-feature to Tarver's next fight. Star Boxing President, Joe DeGuardia, the promoter of Tarver, Muriqi and Arnaoutis was unavailable for immediate comment. (4:47 PM EST)
