Tarver loses out
ANTONIO TARVER thought he got a good deal
holding out for purse bids for his rematch with
Roy Jones rather than agreeing to an offer made
by estranged promoter Joe DeGuardia.
But even though Don King outbid DeGuardia,
Tarver will earn approximately $100,000 less
when he fights Jones in Las Vegas on May 15
than if he'd settled for what Joe put on the table.
The reason for this is because Tarver must
now pay DeGuardia 25 per cent of his purse
whereas he wouldn't have had to pay Joe
anything if DeGuardia promoted the match.

Audley's rejected
AUDLEY HARRISON'S offer of assistance to
Britain's hopefuls for the summer Olympics was
rejected by the ABA, who said the schedule for
the amateurs could not be altered so as to allow
them to go to the super-heavyweight gold
medallist's camp in Cornwall.
As a result, Harrison has decided to go to Las
Vegas to get himself in shape for his next contest,
at Bristol's Whitchurch Leisure Centre on May

Gamache's new lawsuit
• FOUR years after the knockout that ended his career,
ex-champ JOEY GAMACHE has a nephew boxing pro, a
new attorney and another lawsuit claiming fraud at his
final weigh-in.
The 37-year-old also has neurological damage and headaches
from the brutal two-round knockout he suffered against a larger
man, said attorney Michael Coyle in Albany, New York.
Gamache has been doing some work as a trainer and promoter
but says the migraines stop him and he relies on medication.
The problems are public in federal court in Manhattan, where the
latest lawsuit named boxer Arturo Gatti, his manager Patrick Lynch,
promoters Top Rank and Main Events, former New York State
Athletic Commission executive director Anthony Russo and exchairman
Melville Southard Jnr.

Davis forced out
• NEW YORKER Aaron Davis' bid to
return on the Warriors Boxing card covered
above was scuppered in the medical room.
"Physicians noticed a lack of peripheral
vision in his left eye," said Chris Meffert of
the Florida Boxing Commission.
"They deemed it was unsafe for him to
fight because he could not see a [wide]
punch coming."
Ex-champ Davis was planning to return
after a layoff. In his last two bouts, he had
beaten Vinny Paz in 2001 and Ross
Thompson in 2002, both at super-middle.
