Tyner on Michigan Card?
Posted: April 13, 2009

Will former Detroit welterweight Lanardo Tyner be returning to Michigan for an upcoming fight? He confirmed that talks are underway for him to fight in three weeks.

Tyner told Sportssummary on Friday that he has been approached to fight on the May 1 card promoted by John Carlisle at DeCarlo’s Banquet & Convention Center in Warren. No contract has been signed and no opponent was named but Tyner is confident the matchmaker will make the fight.

Tyner (19-2-0, 11 KO) moved to Texas two years ago in an effort to further his boxing career but, while his last two fights were title shots and one was televised, he lost both. If this fight happens it will be the Pain Server’s first Michigan fight in fifteen months.
