Tarver says Hopkins fight will be nailed down shortly!

"This will be the last dime Bernard Hopkins makes in boxing!"

After it appeared that the deal was in serious jeopardy over the weekend moments ago the light heavyweight king told Boxingtalk.com, "Once again I'm having to make concessions, but I stand on my talent and ability so we're going to make this fight. However the deal is structured, I promise you this is the last dime Bernard Hopkins is ever going to make in boxing. Roy went out on his skirt, we're going to make sure he goes out on his shield."
