"Tarver and his people chose to fight some scrub in Italy rather than fight me, so we moving on. Al Haymon didn't even call us himself. He got his flunky Sam [Watson] to call us...I'm fighting in Biloxi, Mississippi on May 14th...Pops is down there right now finalizing everything, but I know it's at the Beau Rivage, so tell everybody in Mississippi and Louisiana I will be down there to do my thing," stated future Hall of Famer James "Lights Out" Toney, who gave us an update on his return to the ring and much more. Check it out!
PC: What's good JT?
JT: Not a whole lot. Tarver and his people chose to fight some scrub in Italy rather than fight me, so we moving on. Al Haymon didn't even call us himself. He got his flunky Sam [Watson] to call us.
PC: That sucks man, because I think that is the fight to make, but hopefully you guys can hook up after a fight or so.
JT: We will see because when the coast clears, I will be the last man standing. I held down the WBC and IBF titles for years and now they want to treat me like I ain't shit; like I'm some scrub, but that's okay. I'm going to focus on defending my IBA title and making this belt as big as the other ones, like Tommy Hearns did years ago. I ain't even trippin' no more.
PC: Do you have anything lined up?
JT: Oh yeah! How far away are you from Biloxi, Mississippi?
PC: I'm only about an hour drive away.
JT: Good, because that's where I'm fighting next. I'm fighting in Biloxi, Mississippi on May 14th.
PC: Man, that's pretty cool. I will be there for sure. Do you have an opponent lined up?
JT: We should have one soon. Pops is down there right now finalizing everything, but I know it's at the Beau Rivage, so tell everybody in Mississippi and Louisiana I will be down there to do my thing.
PC: I sure will. I look forward to having you fight down here. Is there anything else you want to say before I let you go?
JT: I heard Sam Peter got knocked out earlier. He's done! I ruined him. I ruined him just like I did Vassily Jirov, accept worse. They were never the same after they fought me and Peter is done.
