Former world champions James Toney and Hasim Rahman will face off tomorrow at a press conference in Sherman Oaks, CA in what surely will be a lively event.
Both men are noted for their up close and personal trash talking styles and with their rematch on July 16 looming, quite possibly anything could happen when they get nose to nose.
The pair will clash for the NABO Heavyweight title at Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, CA and the bout will be televised live on Fox Sports Net's popular "Best Damn Sports Show Period" program.
Toney and Rahman first came to blows in March 2006 for Rahman's WBC belt but the contest was declared a draw and a return bout has been simmering ever since.
The July 16 Pechanga card is being billed as "Last Chance" and is a shared promotion between Goosen-Tutor, Don King and Top Rank.
