Toney Out For At Least Three Months!

Sources close to the situation have informed Boxingtalk.com that former three division champion, current world class heavyweight contender, James "Lights-Out" Toney tore a muscle in his left arm during his unanimous decision win over previously undefeated Rydell Booker. Toney suffered the injury in round one and still managed to dominate Booker throughout. Although Toney was clearly in control of the action and looked sharp following an eleven month hiatus due to a torn achilles-an accomplishment in of itself-the knockout most expected probably would have came had Toney not suffered another injury. Boxingtalk understands Toney will miss at least three months. We plan to speak with the 2003 Fighter Of The Year Shortly, stay tuned! (8:30 PM/ET)
