NEWS FLASH
Tarver will face Santiago now!
Danny "The Bronx Bomber" Santiago will face Antonio "Magic Man" Tarver for the IBO light heavyweight championship in a twelve-round bout at Foxwoods Resort and Casino on December 1. "It is my life's dream to fight the best," says Santiago, who also says it won't be the first time he's been considered the underdog, "and I intend to take full advantage of the opportunity." Santiago has compiled a record of 29-3-1 with 19 KO's since he turned pro in 1997. In his corner is trainer Patrick Burns, who is no stranger to championship matches. "Danny has been training his whole life for a chance to become world champion – when he faces Tarver, he'll be ready," said Burns, whose prior experience as an Olympic coach for both Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather, as well as trainer for Hector "Macho" Camacho and Jermain Taylor give him the credentials to make such a statement. The fight will be telecast live on Showtime.
