April 2008 has been the month of the light heavyweight. With four major fights the preceding two weekends (Tarver-Woods, Dawson-Johnson, Calzaghe-Hopkins, Diaconu-Henry) already in the books, the final piece of the light heavyweight puzzle will be showcased on Saturday in Dresden when unbeaten WBO light heavyweight champion Zsolt Erdei (28-0, 17 KOs) sees action. "I want the biggest fights," says Erdei, who earlier this week boldly proclaimed he is the fastest fighter in the division. First, however, Erdei needs to take care of business against #4 rated DeAndrey Abron (15-1, 10 KOs) in his tenth world title defense.


"Right now the only important thing is the fight against DeAndrey Abron," said 'The Firebird,' who couldn't resist revealing the next foe he would like to face. "We'll see how serious IBF/IBO world champion Antonio Tarver is about his announcement that he wants to unify the titles," challenged Erdei. "He hasn't come to me yet. So if not now, when?" Getting big fights hasn't been easy for the popular Hungarian. Earlier this year, Universum tried to arrange a unification clash with WBA champion Danny Green, however that was scuttled when Green surprisingly retired. Also, an unspecified offer to fight from the U.S. was rejected due to the purse being deemed insufficient for Erdei, who commonly attracts over one million viewers on German TV.

Hopefully Tarver/Erdei will happen...
