More On The Jeff Lacy Retirement!


Monday, July 28 2008


Former IBF super middleweight Jeff Lacy has revealed that he's retiring from boxing because he is insulted by a $550,000 offer to fight Jermain Taylor. "What do I look like fighting a fight of that caliber for $550,000 when I have more to risk than anything?" Lacy commented to the Tampa Tribune. "I feel like Taylor needs me more than I need him and what do I look like fighting that fight for $550,000 and risking my life in there like I did Wednesday night because the referee is not on top of this guy hitting me in the back of the head?"

I need some clearing up on this matter. Is the Lacy vs Taylor fight still on? By all media accounts it is, but Jeff's stated that he's retired. Can someone please clarify?...

He un retired days later, and the Taylor fight is on. Don't know why this old article has been reposted.

He said he retired. According to him the issue was money, so when Team-Taylor offered a larger share of the pie to Lacy he 'unretired'.
