Three-time world light heavyweight champion and “Rocky Balboa” co-star Antonio Tarver will be featured on the next “TV One Access,” when host Tatyana Ali and correspondent Quddus celebrate the hottest 40-year-olds in Hollywood.

“The Big 4-OH!” is an hour-long special produced by TV One’s monthly entertainment news program, “TV One Access.” The special premieres this Sunday, June 7, on cable’s TV One.

In this episode, “TV One Access” is hosting a birthday bash in honor of the biggest ballers, shot callers and power players who are at the top of their game at the age of 40. Some of the celebrities joining Tarver included a wide range from actor Terrance Howard and “Grey’s Anatomy” star Chandra Wilson to retired NFL football star Emmit Smith.

“Just call me fly at 40,” said Tarver who hit the milestone last November. “Last month I took an undefeated 26-year-old world champion in Chad Dawson into deep water making him fight a full 12 rounds. Ted Williams won a batting title at 40 and Jack Nicklaus became a Masters champion for the sixth time at 46. Keep that rocking chair in storage, the best is yet to come for me in the ring and on the silver screen.”

“With so many of Hollywood’s hottest stars turning 40 this year, ‘TV One Access’ decided to throw a grown and sexy birthday bash to celebrate this milestone year,” said Monique Chenault, Senior Producer, “TV One Access.” “Each star honored in this special episode, ‘The Big 4-OH!’ is proof that the good life begins at 40 years young.”
