Johnson's Offer to Bet Woods $50K for this Weekend Title Fight Turned Down!
HOLLYWOOD, FLa., August 31 – As things heat up for the IBF Light Heavyweight Title fight between Glen Johnson and Clinton Woods, Johnson confronted Woods at today’s press conference in Bolton, England regarding comments that Woods apparently made in reference to knocking Johnson out in the sixth round of their upcoming contest.
“I bet you $50,000 that you don’t beat me,” said Johnson
Woods challenged Johnson as to where and when he saw such a statement and refused to take the bet.
The fight which is promoted by Frank Warren Sports Networks and Seminole Warriors Boxing, takes place at the Bolton Arena in Bolton, England this Saturday, September 2nd. This is the third fight between Johnson and Woods. Johnson who previously vacated the belt to step up and fight Antonio Tarver has returned to take back what is rightfully his, the IBF Light Heavyweight World Title.
