Top Rank fighters have begun training camps and are preparing to return of boxing in the United States. In one of the first Bob Arum's tournaments, WBO Featherweight World Champion Jamel Herring will definitely perform. Herring boasted about this on social networks.

The largest American boxing stable is carefully preparing to organize evenings during the coronavirus pandemic. Top Rank management promises to draw conclusions from the mistakes made by UFC, which organized its first event on Saturday in Florida.

“They presented a map of 11 battles, and one of the participants turned out to be a carrier of the virus. They examined him after arriving at the hotel. They were lucky that he did not infect anyone. The whole tournament could be paralyzed,” Bob Arum said.

“We will have fewer fights in the evenings, and we will test fighters for the virus before they come to us. We want to make everything safe. The fewer fights, the easier it is to control the situation,” Top Rank boss added.
