Taylor-Wright a done deal!

Winky goes Wright back to Shaw for one more fight!

Moments ago Winky Wright informed Boxingtalk.com that he has decided to work with Gary Shaw for one more fight. "I don't want the fans to be deprived of seeing the best two middleweights in the world, so we're going to do one more fight with Gary to give the fans what they want to see. And if Jermain and them try to find a way out, I'll fight someone else. But I want to make this clear right now, after this fight it's 1000% going to be Winky Promotions. No one will ever speak on my behalf but Winky Promotions (Chris Lighty). I'm going to give the fans what they want to see and if they take the fight without trying to snake their way out of it, I want to apologize to all of my fans in Arkansas right now for what I'm going to do to their boy." Gary Shaw told Boxingtalk.com, "We were ready, willing and able to do the fight. Shaw had no comment about he and Wright settling their differences, but stated, "I'm going to be working hard to help give the fans the fight they want to see." (10:45 PM EST)

Update: Both Gary Shaw and Lou DiBella have informed Boxingtalk.com that the Taylor-Wright bout is a done deal for HBO World Championship Boxing on June 17.
