Due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19, this Saturday’s Premier Boxing Champions event at MGM National Harbor in Maryland, headlined by James Kirkland vs. Marcos Hernandez and promoted by TGB Promotions, will be postponed until a later date.
“In the interest of public health and after reviewing the current information on COVID-19, we have decided the best course of action is to postpone Saturday’s event,” said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. “We understand how disappointing this is to boxing fans and regret any inconvenience.”

I know, we don’t like it but, we have to take control , to help somehow
You wanna help!
STOP the panic and nonsense! The damn virus had a lower kill rate than a blind ISIS sniper!
The ONLY people that should avoid crowds are the elderly and those with compromised immune systems! Something that’s common sense for those two groups regardless.
The death rate is not the issue right now. You can be a carrier for four days before knowing you are sick. This virus is not really this issue. The fact thats its one of the easiest to get is the issue. 98% will survive, but as a carrier you can end up killing up a large majority of the elderly. Again the virus itself is now the main issue, its spreading it to loved ones who wont be able to survive. You go to a big event and then stop at a nursing home to visit grandma and the next thing that happens is the entire nursing home gets it and dies.
I agree with Juan, the overreaction is unwarranted. China’s death rate from the virus is around 4%, and just under 81,000 people in China contracted it. In a nation of 1.4 billion, just 0.00006% of the population got the virus. This hardly justifies “the entire nursing home dies” scenario you conjured up.
I knew it.
Me too.
Promoters and sanctioning organizations are easily manipulated and follow instead of lead. It’s mostly business mixed with need to feel accepted.
What do you bet the Wilder / Fury rematch is delayed as well.
Corona Virus US cases: 938
US deaths: 29.
H1N1 Virus US Cases: 60.8 MILLION
US Deaths: 22,469.
What makes Coronavirus special enough for this hysteria?
Patchy East, the media makes it what it is. All day everyday they talk about that crap.
