IT REALLY IS GETTING HOT IN HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA
The press conference almost led to a fight before the fight, but even though cooler heads prevailed when Shannon Briggs and Ray Mercer squared off in New York City last Monday, this week the temperature will start to approach the boiling point as participants on the August 26 Heavyweight Heat show - which will be held at the new beautiful Hard Rock Live Arena in Hollywood, Florida – will let the media and fans catch a glimpse of them preparing for their toughest challenges yet.
 

HEAVYWEIGHT HEAT AT THE SEMINOLE HARD ROCK – FRIDAY, AUGUST 26TH
What do you get when you take four of the premier heavyweight contenders in the world (with 150 combined wins and a 118 knockouts), add a world cruiserweight title bout involving one of boxing's most exciting young champions, and throw in a dash of a junior welterweight contender who hits like a heavyweight? You get a show so spectacular that they had to build a new arena just to hold the legion of fight fans who will be lining up to see it!
