'Tiger' Thompson Battles 'Lights Out' Toney in California December 13!

Heavyweight title contender Tony "The Tiger" Thompson of DC has reportedly signed to battle former multi-division world champion James "Lights Out" Toney on Saturday, December 13 at the Morongo Resort and Casino in Cabazon, CA.

The bout will be for the IBA Heavyweight title and will be carried live on the Versus Network.

"James and Tony both will have this opportunity to show what they still have," promoter Dan Goossen told ESPN.com. "Thompson will try to beat James better than [Samuel] Peter did and James is trying to beat Thompson better than Klitschko did. They both have something to gain with a great performance. This is one of those few times where winning isn't good enough. The winner needs to make a statement in this fight."
