Reporter: Do you think enough is being done for boxing safety?
Tarver: My heart goes out to [Holyfield’s] family and all the people that have unfortunately passed away in this tough sport of boxing. You know, you just gotta, just stay on the ground and you know, because every time you step in that ring there’s a chance of that. And that’s the reality of the sport. That’s why people need to understand what we go through. It’s a major, major sacrifice. If the contenders didn’t open up some people’s eyes to why we do what we do, you know, so that we should be respected more. I think the sport of boxing right now is in a revitalizing state, but it is revitalizing. You know, just as if we have to rebuild New Orleans. And my heart goes out to all the people that was—have lost in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. You know, we have to rebuild boxing, and so people can truly love the great sport that it is. The legacy goes, you know, as long as we can remember. So you know, and it will be here for the end of time. But my heart goes out for those that are lost.
