Woods to Undergo Test for Meningitis

After his limp display in losing his IBF world title against Antonio Tarver, Clinton Woods will undergo tests for a virus
Clinton Woods' manager Dennis Hobson says the former IBF world light-heavyweight champion is to undergo tests to see if he was suffering from a virus when he lost his title to Antonio Tarver in Florida recently. A friend of Woods, who traveled with him to Tampa, has since been diagnosed as suffering from a strain of meningitis.

Woods produced a bafflingly lethargic display as he was outpointed. Hobson said: "We're not making excuses but clearly we need to establish if there was a health issue involved." John Rawling
