Hopkins
and Tarver are both zoning in on Maskaev
By Mike Casile Philadelphia Boxing
Report
(ESPN 902AM PHILLY)
(OCT 5) Sources close to the The Philadelphia Boxing Report, have told
us that Golden Boy promotions have made contact with Dennis Rappaport,
WBC Heavyweight Champion Oleg Maskaev’s promoter. Rappaport would not
elaborate on the particulars of the call, only to say that Golden Boy,
as well as representatives of the Antonio Tarver camp, have both made
initial contact, about the possibility of fight with Maskaev.
Rappaport told us that, “a June fight
is out of the question, which is what I think they wanted. We have many
people calling us, and we many options. We want to do what is best for
boxing and Oleg.” Bernard Hopkins will be a guest on The Philadelphia
Boxing Report on Saturday Oct 7th at 10:00am Est. We will put the
question to him there. As for Tarver, Rappaport confirmed that Tarver’s
people are very interested in a Tarver meeting Maskaev down the road.
Rappaport did not sound as enthusiastic about that though.
