In 2006 he lost the IBO light heavyweight title to former World middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins. He returned in 2007 to regain the vacated IBO title against Elvir Muriqi. Tarver last fought in October 2010, making his heavyweight debut at 221lbs. He will have to scale back down to the cruiserweight division limit of 200lbs to challenge Green<\/p>\n<p>Like Jones JR this will be Tarver\u2019s first professional contest outside the United States, however the 42 year-old is confident he is the power and skill to do what no man has done before, knock out Danny Green.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDanny is a knock-out specialist, but he has to remember that I was the first person to knock out Roy Jones JR way back in 2004.\u201d Tarver said via satellite from Orlando at today\u2019s press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think a lot of people over here underestimate Danny, but you can all rest assured that come July I\u2019m not only going to finish Danny Green but I\u2019m gonna put on a show that you won\u2019t forget\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s gonna bring it, I\u2019m gonna bring it \u2026 Danny\u2019s bringing the pain, I\u2019m bringing the pain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=1371\">Advertise Now On RSR<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/BookStore\/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=13198\">Purchase Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Family-Secret-Forris-Day-Jr\/dp\/B004GLZ4YG\/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1\">Order the Horror Thriller FAMILY SECRET Now!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mike Plunkett Having successfully rebounded from recent surgery to remove his appendix and a large abscess, IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green will defend his world title against former light heavyweight champion Antonio \u2018Magic Man\u2019 Tarver on July 20th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1921,105,1414],"class_list":["post-9269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-boxing-news","tag-antonio-tarver","tag-boxing","tag-danny-green"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9269","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=9269"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9269\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
