1. Jermain Taylor-Felix Trinidad??? Very possible. HBO is interested in the fight and has offered the last Saturday of September or the first Saturday of October. Not sure if the fight would be on PPV or on regular HBO. The idea is the winner of Taylor-Trinidad would fight the winner of Hopkins-Calzaghe. If the winners turn out to be Trinidad and Hopkins it would put them in a rematch from their 2001 fight in which Hopkins TKOd Trinidad. I am sure an announcement will be made about this soon.
2. It appears Audley Harrison will land on the undercard of Bernard Hopkins-Joe Calzaghe. Harrison has not fought since February 2006 when he was brutally KOd by Michael Sprott.
3. Former Heavyweight Champion Shannon Briggs has been named a company spokesman for Warranties For Less. The company offers extended warranties on the most expensive car parts. Briggs also said that Don King is looking at some dates for a few fights for him in the near future. Briggs has been inactive since losing the WBO Heavyweight Title in June 2007.
4. Roy Jones Jr. and Joe Frazier will be on the new CBS show Secret Talents of the Stars on Tuesday at 10pm EST. It will show Roy the boxer exploring his talent as a rapper and Joe Frazier the former Heavyweight Champion of the World as a singer. Do not forget to support two of our own as they get some personal exposure as well as exposure for our sport of boxing.
