Antonio Tarver and Steve Cunningham squared off a day before their clash on Premier Boxing Champions on SPIKE TV which is set for Friday August 14th. Coming off the back of an impressive knockout win over Johnathon Banks late in 2014, Tarver takes a step up against Steve Cunningham in what is a must win for the former IBO light heavyweight champ. Cunningham is looking to bounce back after a controversial loss to Vyacheslav Glazkov and get his name back in contention for another title shot. The twelve round fight will be contested inside the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Catch the action live on SPIKE TV.
