This what happened during the press conference
DON KING, legendary promoter
“We’re going to have a sensational evening of boxing. I am very pleased to be home again. It will give people a chance to have fun once again. No one should take it lightly. It would be much better if you take the vaccinations and the shot, wear your mask and socially distance.
“We are here to give you a moment of respite. Hey everybody, let’s have some fun. Live it once, as when you’re dead, you’re done. No matter whether you are young or old, let the good times roll.
