Horrid fight for Adamek anyway. Toney will just have to fight someone else to get himself out of debt. Maybe Holyfield or Tyson.

Originally posted by Der_Ubermensch View PostBoxing scribe Chris Mannix is reporting via Twitter this evening that James “Lights Out” Toney has been pulled from a card on September 8 at the Prudential Center in New Jersey that would have seen him fighting a headline Polish Pay Per View match against Tomasz Adamek.
The bout has been widely criticized in the boxing press as a total mismatch between a current heavyweight contender and a long-past-his-prime and possibly brain-damaged 43-year-old fighter who owes over $350,000 in back taxes to the California State government.
Toney didn’t help his case when he videotaped a YouTube segment in which he threatened to go the ESPN offices and attack boxing scribe Dan Rafael, who criticized the Toney-Adamek match-up.
So far, no official reason has been given for the Toney cancellation. Boxing Insider will update this story as details become available.
