Australia's Danny Green gets the chance to regain his world cruiserweight title in Melbourne on November 21 after Antonio Tarver was stripped of the belt. Danny Green says he has "no idea" whether Antonio Tarver was steroid-affected when the American fought and took his title last year and he bears him no ill will. Tarver was stripped of the IBO world cruiserweight title he won by beating Green last year following a positive test to a banned steroid taken prior to his next fight, a draw with Lateef Kayode in the US three months ago. He has denied knowingly taken a banned drug.
