SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 11 – Boxer O'Shaquie Foster wants to drop promoter Dibella Entertainment, which has sued him and is stopping his probably short career at a key point. 

     On May 11, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John G. Koeltl held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

  Both sides said they want this proceeding to move quickly, given how time bound a boxer's career can be. But the best that could be done was a discovery schedule running through October 29.

Will this contender still have a shot by then?

The case is DiBella Entertainment, Inc. v. Foster, 21-cv-2709 (Koeltl)
