Tarvis Simms waiting for Dirrell to sign contract for Showtime fight!

Undefeated middleweight Tarvis Simms is a frustrated man. After having two fights fall apart on him due to strange circumstances, even by boxing's standards, Simms hasn't fought in 2008. Then came the call Tarvis was waiting for, a televised ten rounder against undefeated super middleweight Andre Dirrell on Showtime Chmapionship Boxing August 2. "The notice is short, the money is short, but to me the money isn't as important as the opportunity to show the world who I am. There's been talks back and forth and they already know I'm on board, all we're waiting for is Dirrell to sign. They know I'm signing tomorrow, so don't be scared Andre I'm not a 168 pounder, just sign the contract and get your first loss over with. It'll be a learning experience for you and I know beating you'll lead to bigger and better things for me," said Simms.
