Billionaire investor Carl Icahn is mulling a proxy fight against Yahoo's current board members in order to pressure the company to reestablish merger negotiations with Microsoft, The Wall Street Journal reported in its online edition Tuesday afternoon.
Icahn has bought as many as 50 million Yahoo shares since Microsoft walked away from the deal, The Journal reported, quoting an anonymous source familiar with the situation.

Yahoo investors have until Thursday to nominate candidates to the board, whose 10 incumbent directors are all up for reelection this year when Yahoo holds its shareholders' meeting in July.
