Starting at 9 pm, EST on Monday, August 19, Daniel Jacobs takes on Giovanni Lorenzo in the first Golden Boy Fight Night card on the brand new FOX Sports 1.
Quotes from Golden Boy Press Release:
“All this for me? This is amazing. I’m truly blessed. God has been with me since day one. I’m fortunate to be here and to have my own main event.
“Two years ago, I was battling a war. I was paralyzed in a hospital battling cancer, so for me to come back and have my own main event in Times Square, it doesn’t get any better than that.
“I’m fortunate to be a part of this and to be able to say to my son that his daddy was a part of something special.
“Giovanni is a tremendous fighter, a very good fighter, and I know he’s going to bring it come fight night. He’s going to be a tough test.
“I know Giovanni says he has a sturdy chin and a good punch, but you can’t hit what you can’t see.
“I have very quick hand speed, very good punching power and my knockout ratio is up there. Giovanni is going to be a real good test for me. Much respect to his camp, but Monday night it’s going to be all Danny Jacobs.
“August 19 is going to be a great show, and tickets are only 35 dollars. You can’t beat that. Come support us up and coming fighters.”
