Usually soft spoken and mild mannered Lateef Kayode was very upset when I asked about his June 2nd opponent, Antonio ?Magic Man? Tarver. Power punching cruiserweight from Nigeria has been featured on Showtime on more than one occasion. Tarver who recently assumed a role of boxing analyst on Showtime covered several fights involving Lateef Kayode. Apparently Tarver?s criticism went to heart of unbeaten Kayode.
?I would like to fight Antonio Tarver,? said Kayode (18-0,14KO?S):? To prove to the world who is the best.? Lateef got his wish; he is going to face Antonio Tarver in the ring on June 2nd in a twelve rounds cruiserweight fight, which will be a main event of Showtime quadruple header staged at Home Depot Center in Carson California. Please click on the link to your left to see Kayode?s video interview.
Other fights on tap are ten round middleweight contest between Winky Wright and Peter Quillin, WBA super welterweight championship fight between champion, Austin Trout and tough challenger, Delvin Rodriguez and twelve round contest for a vacant IBF bantamweight crown between Leo Santa Cruz and African, Vusi Malinga.
