NEWARK, N.J. – Antonio Tarver wants his heavyweight title shot to come against Wladimir Klitschko, not Deontay Wilder.
A fight against Wilder would be easier to make because Tarver and Wilder are advised by Al Haymon and compete as part of Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions series, but Tarver hasn’t been shy about making his preference known. If he defeats Philadelphia’s Steve Cunningham (28-7, 13 KOs) on Friday night at Prudential Center (Spike, 9 p.m. ET/PT) – or when he beats Cunningham, according to Tarver – the former light heavyweight champion wants what he believes he’ll have earned.
