Sources close to the The Philadelphia Boxing Report, have told us that Golden Boy promotions have made contact with Dennis Rappaport, WBC Heavyweight Champion Oleg Maskaev’s promoter.
Rappaport would not elaborate on the particulars of the call, only to say that Golden Boy, as well as representatives of the Antonio Tarver camp, have both made initial contact about the possibility of fight with Maskaev.
Rappaport told us that, “a June fight is out of the question, which is what I think they wanted. We have many people calling us, and we many options. We want to do what is best for boxing and Oleg.”
Bernard Hopkins will be a guest on The Philadelphia Boxing Report on Saturday Oct 7th at 10:00am Est. We will put the question to him there. As for Tarver, Rappaport confirmed that Tarver’s people are very interested in a Tarver meeting Maskaev down the road. Rappaport did not sound as enthusiastic about that though.
