Tarver, who was scheduled to face Johnathon Banks in a 10-round heavyweight bout on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes, injured his thumb during training camp. \u201cThe injury actually happened two and a half weeks ago and I\u2019ve been trying my hardest to work through it. Finally my doctor ordered an X-ray and we found out it was a fracture,\u201d Tarver said of his injury.<\/p>\n<p>Tarver added, \u201cI\u2019m very disappointed I won\u2019t get to face Johnathon Banks, but hopefully we will be able to reschedule this fight with him for a later date. I was ready to make a statement with this fight, and I\u2019ll be back as soon as I can.\u201d Tarver still plans to be in Texas, however, to witness his son Antonio Jr.\u2019s professional debut. The remainder of the televised portion of the card will feature a co-main event between New Mexican junior welterweight Fidel \u201cThe Atrisco Kid\u201d Maldonado Jr. (18-2, 15 KOs) and an opponent to be determined, as well as junior welterweight Ricardo \u201cDinamita\u201d Alvarez (23-3, 13 KOs) in the televised opener against an opponent to be determined.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe show must go on,\u201d said Oscar De La Hoya, founder and president of Golden Boy Promotions. \u201cThe loss of the Tarver vs. Banks fight is a disappointment, but fans in the State Farm Arena and those watching at home on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes will not be disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newzbreaker.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19486\" title=\"NEWZBREAKER-BANNER\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/NEWZBREAKER-BANNER.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recently announced junior featherweight bout between Southern California favorite Joseph \u201cJo Jo\u201d Diaz and Mexican warrior Raul Hidalgo has been elevated from the co-main event to the main event for the Monday, Sept. 29 Golden Boy Live! fight night from the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas due to an injury suffered by former [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[10441],"class_list":["post-40038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-boxing-news","tag-antonio-tarver-injured-off-september-29th-boxing-card"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40038"}],"version-history":[{"count":-3,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40038\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
