The 10-round fight will proceed as planned at Scope Arena on November 8 in front of a vibrant crowd in his home state of Virginia. The Olympic silver medalist would have wished for a title fight but despite the circumstances, he will try to deliver the goods in style in front of his fans, friends, and family.

In some countries, that will be 5 in the morning, in some others, it will be 10 at night.
