“It’s bigger know than it ever was. A couple of years ago we were going to fight during the pandemic in Eddie [Hearn]’s backyard. No one was going to be there, but here we are in the most iconic venue in boxing. I’m very grateful it didn’t happen back then.”
Amanda Serrano: “You guys would not let us not have this fight. Every question after my or her fight was ‘how about Serrano’ or ‘how about Katie’. I was confident the fight was going to happen but not at this magnitude.
