Danny Green: record, next fight and profile →
Former IBO champion Danny Green is very upset with the ongoing reports which claim WBC cruiserweight champion Krzysztof Wlodarczyk attempted suicide in July from an overdose of sleeping pills. Back in July, Polish outlets reported that an unconscious Wlodarczyk was taken to hospital after deliberately overdosing on tablets following an argument with his wife.
French super middleweight Mehdi Bouadla takes on Estonian Dmitri Protkunas on Friday (Sep 16) in Riga, Latvia, in what is his first fight since losing to Mikkel Kessler in June. If all goes well Bouadla will challenge for an I/C or Int´l title of some kind October 22.
RECENTLY dethroned IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green has shelved plans for a contractually obligated rematch with future Hall of Famer and conqueror Antonio Tarver to instead take on what seems to be his most legitimate challenge in recent years when he faces former IBF and reigning WBC cruiserweight champion Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, who he faces on November 30th at Perth’s Challenge Stadium.
The boxing rematch between Danny Green and Antonio Tarver has been put on ice for now, with negotiations between both camps breaking down.
According to the West Australian, former IBO champion Danny Green is heading right back in the title picture. The Australian star has reached a deal to face WBC cruiserweight champion Krzysztof Wlodarczyk of Poland on November 30th at Perth's Challenge Stadium. It will be Green's first fight since getting knocked out in July by Antonio Tarver. Green had initially pushed for a rematch with Tarver, but appears to have passed on exercising the rematch clause. Even before the Tarver fight, Wlodarczyk had pushed for a meeting with Green in Australia.
Former IBO cruiserweight world champion Danny Green has warned Antonio Tarver that he won't "hang around forever" as negotiations for a boxing rematch continue to drag on.
Former cruiserweight champ Danny Green has dismissed the recent comments from promoter Gary Shaw, who says the Australian star wants nothing to do with another fight against Antonio Tarver. Green lost his IBO belt when Tarver took him out in nine rounds in July.
Promoter Gary Shaw has serious doubts about Danny Green's desire to rematch IBO cruiserweight champion Antonio Tarver in the fall. Tarver stopped Green in nine rounds last month to capture the IBO title in Sydney, but there is a rematch clause in their contract and the Australian star recently held a press conference to announce his intention of exercising that clause.
Former cruiserweight champion Danny Green knew he was in serious trouble by the second round of his title match with Antonio Tarver, which took place last month in Sydney, Australia. Green suffered the first stoppage loss of his 35-fight career and Tarver, the underdog, captured the IBO title with a barrage of punches in the ninth round.
They say it’s not how a fighter loses that shapes him, but how he ultimately responds in the wake of defeat.
