UCN Week in Review – #KovalevWard is On & #UCNinBigBear
A few weeks ago, after Andre Ward was a no-show for what was supposed to be the opening press conference announcing #KovalevWard, UCN’s Steve Kim appropriately asked “We have a fight…right?”
As we readied ourselves for a Saturday full of NFL pre-season action, Steve answered his own question.
You can all book ur flights and hotel rooms now…

A few hours later, Krusher (or his social media team) took to Twitter to announce that tickets were on sale Friday for the highly-anticipated November 19th fight with Andre Ward at the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas:
