“Everyone was mentioned as Calzaghe’s potential next opponent but me – the true light heavy weight champion," said IBF/IBO Light Heavyweight Champion Tarver following Joe Calzaghe's defeat of Bernard Hopkins, who comprehensively beat Tarver in 2006, in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
"I am the real legend killer! I beat Roy Jones, Jr. not once, but twice. I have also beaten Glenn Johnson, Clinton Woods and many more top fighters in the light heavy weight division.
"I am the only light heavyweight champion who currently holds two belts and on my way to unifying the belts this year. I will fight Calzaghe in the US, in the UK or wherever he wants to fight. Three fights, three titles, undisputed! ”
