WBC Orders Tarver Vs. Briggs!

Earlier today the WBC ordered light heavyweight king Antonio Tarver to make the mandatory defense of his championship against Paul Briggs. Team's Tarver and Briggs have thirty days to come to terms. If an agreement cannot be reached a purse bid will take place on October 7, 2004 at noon at the WBC convention in Phuket, Thailand.
