The press conference, which will be open to the public, will be the only time the two fighters face off in person on the East Coast.
BROOKLYN BOXING on Long Island will make its debut at the newly-renovated NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, on Saturday, July 15 with a Premier Boxing Champions event featuring former world champions Omar “El Panterita” Figueroa (26-0-1, 18 KOs) and Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (33-5-1, 18 KOs) in the main event, and five Long Island fighters on the undercard, including fan favorite Seanie Monaghan (28-0-0). This marks the first boxing event at the Coliseum since Mike Tyson headlined in 1986.
Boxing returns to Barclays Center with its fourth fight card of the year on Saturday, July 29, with a Premier Boxing Champions showdown between four-division world champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner (33-2, 24 KOs), and three-division world champion Mikey Garcia (36-0, 30 KOs). The card also includes unbeaten former world champion Jermall Charlo (25-0, 19 KOs) facing Jorge Sebastian Heiland (29-4-2, 16 KOs) in a middleweight world title eliminator.
