UNDISPUTED MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION JERMAIN TAYLOR DONATES TO THE LEAVANDER FUND
***Arkansas star to be honored December 22, 2005 at Rimrockers game at Alltel Arena***

December 22, New York- It’s the most wonderful time of the year and the holiday spirit is in the air. DiBella Entertainment’s Undisputed Middleweight World Champion Jermain Taylor (25-0, 17 KO’s) continues to show he is a champion both inside and outside of the ring. Proving once again that a more appropriate nickname for him might be “Good Intentions” rather than his ring moniker of “Bad Intentions”, Taylor has generously donated proceeds received in connection with the sale of his autographed gloves on the night of his second historic victory over Bernard Hopkins on December 3, at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas to The Leavander Fund.

To make a non-tax deductible donation to the Leavander Fund, please send a check or money order, made payable to:

The LEAVANDER FUND
