Louis Ready To Start Training For September Title Fight
Louis, the former heavyweight champion, is reported ready to begin training soon for a September bout with Eszard Charles. Friends in Detroit say he hopes the match can be arranged, though officials in Washington note no instructions or official interest.

He also aims to resolve back taxes and has said fighting Charles could be a path to payment.
