Is Vernon Forrest fighting on the Taylor-Froch undercard?

[dans]

On Showtime's website it says something about Vernon Forrest fighting on the undercard, but I can't find anywhere else that says that. Tyson Fury will also be on the card apparently. It's shaping up pretty nicely, especially since I'll be there.

Froch vs. Taylor
Green vs. De Leon
Forrest vs. ????
Tyson Fury (US debut) vs. ???

Looks like he's fighting a local guy; Jason LeHoullier. Probably to make sure asses are in the seats at Foxwoods.

I thought the tickets were cheap enough to put people there. Still, the card seems to be shaping up alright.

Tickets are $50 to $200 but the $50 seats are just the last two rows so I went with the $75. There's still really good seats available. The Forrest fight and Fury fight should both be over quickly.

Looks like it will be his tune-up for either Martinez or Abraham, I wish that was cleared up...

He better not chump out and try to avoid Martinez like I think he will- he don't want none of Martinez, blowout for sure.

WAR MARTINEZ!!

Vernon Forrest brings down the card rather than add to it. He is painful to watch. Has any other champion ever been allowed to duck his mandatory contender for this long?
