It has been a pleasure to be able to work with such an energetic and enthusiastic promoter as well as the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission. There has not been a World Championship fought here since Evander Holyfield in 1998 and there is no doubt the good people of my hometown are anxious to see this historic card in a venue like CompoundATL-the entertainment mecca of the city. Imagine a fight card of this magnitude being available to only 600 in the audience and another 600 on state of the art video screens. This truly will be the place to be on Friday, May 13.”
