Riveredge"  in Reading, PA on Saturday March 10.  Tarvis, the identical twin

23 month layoff due to legal problems with his former promoter.  The
former Golden Gloves champ, who has an amateur win over WBC/WBO

with Marshall Kauffman, who is also co-promoting the Riveredge fight card.

sparring partner for former heavyweight champ Hasim Rahman in Las Vegas.

Prieto in a lightweight bout. Jason Cintron fresh off a four round
decision win in Lancaster, will face John Lipcomb in junior welterweight
action. Lightweight propect Darnell Jiles will face Damon Antwon, and Erik
Faust will face Lamar Jones in cruiserweight action. Marshall Kauffman
of King's Promotions is promoting the fight card in conjunction with

hard-hitting action. Former heavyweight champ Hasim Rahman will be in
attendance as special guest.
