Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gave the green light to the organization of sporting events without the participation of spectators. In Florida, soon, in particular, the WWE professional wrestling tournament is expected.
UFC 249 evenings are also scheduled for April 18 in Florida. Dana White wanted to hold this event in the Indian reservation or on the private island, but did not receive permission from ESPN.
Florida could also be the first state to host boxing events after the pandemic. Such a prospect is of interest, including the promotion organization of Top Rank. In the main fight of the evening WBO featherweight champion Shakur Stevenson, who was originally supposed to box in early March, could perform.
All events, despite the absence of fans, will be shown on television live. All participants will also be tested for coronavirus.
