BoxingScene's Brent Mattero Alderson recently spoke with former three-division champion James "Lights Out" Toney (70-6-3, 43KOs), who gave his honest thoughts on a variety of current topics in the sport.

Toney, currently serving a suspension for testing postive for a banned substance that was found in the urinalysis for his split-decision win over Danny Batchelder, (suspension recently reduced by the California Commission), is targeting December for his return. 

"The suspension is up in October. I'm going to fight on December 1st. We are going to fight on December 1st either out here in Los Angeles or Detroit. Me and my camp are working on a few things right now. I want the toughest opponents out there, I expect nothing less. I want come back big, pay-per-view style," Toney said.
