Setanta will be there to see Sheffield's finest, Clinton Woods, travel to Tarver's Florida hometown Tampa to defend his IBF light-heavyweight crown, a title he has held for three years. Woods' tilt at Tarver will be the fifth defence of his crown. It's further evidence that Setanta Sports is fast becoming the best boxing broadcaster in the UK, coming just a week before their exclusively live coverage of Joe Calzaghe vs. Bernard Hopkins from Las Vegas on Saturday, April 19th.

Clinton Woods is adamant that victory over the American must surely set up a clash with Joe Calzaghe later this year, should the Welshman get past Bernard Hopkins. "That has got to be the dream," said Woods. "I think me against Tarver and Calzaghe versus Hopkins are the semi-finals, with the winner facing each other in the final."

Antonio Tarver, who starred as Mason "The Line" Dixon, the heavyweight division champion in the film Rocky Balboa in 2006, is a former undisputed world light heavyweight champion himself. His most famous victory came on May 15, in Las Vegas when he knocked out Roy Jones Jr in the second round to become WBC, WBO and IBO light-heavyweight champion. Tarver also won the light-heavyweight bronze medal for the United States at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

Setanta's Director of Sport, Trevor East, commented: "We've already snapped up some fantastic fights in 2008 - Maccarinelli vs. Haye, Calzaghe vs. Hopkins and now Woods vs. Tarver. It promises to be a great showdown in Florida and is more proof of the amazing value we offer boxing fans who subscribe to Setanta Sports."
