Roc Nation Sports made the announcement today. The fight will take place Saturday, August 6 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California. The fight will be carried by HBO. These two were actually supposed to fight on the Canelo vs. Cotto undercard, but Ward pulled out with an injury.
Andre Ward: “We can get it on, right now. August 6th, I will be ready, so come out to Oracle Arena or tune in live on HBO. Don’t miss it.”
Alexander Brand: “It will be a great honor to face Andre Ward on August 6 and better yet in his own backyard. Fighting somebody with such an illustrious career, facing a guy that perhaps hasn’t lost a round in his entire life, is even more thrilling. We were set to face each other last November, but he was forced to pull out of the fight with an injury. Now the time has come to fight him and I can’t wait to derail his future plans. I’ll work hard to spoil them.”
