Herring

“This postponement is a blessing in disguise because I feel 10 times better than I did three weeks ago” Herring said in a recent Top Rank press release statement. “I’m grateful to have another opportunity to get back in the ring. I’ve fully recovered from COVID-19 and I’m more than ready for anything Jonathan Oquendo brings on September 5. Our team has a great game plan and we are eager to carry it out.”

Bob Arum

“Jamel has had a run of bad luck, but his fortunes will change for the better inside the ‘Bubble’ on September 5,” Arum said. “Oquendo is a crafty veteran who understands this may be his last shot at a world title and I expect him to give ‘The Fighting Marine’ one heck of a fight.”

Oquendo

“I am very happy with finally getting this opportunity to challenge Herring for his world title, as the fight has been canceled twice because of COVID-19” Oquendo said. “At one point, I thought that maybe the fight was not going to happen, but thanks to God, we are now ready for September 5.

“We are going to win” he added. “We are in a very positive mindset. We are going to leave everything in the ring. It’s now or never. It would be a great accomplishment to become a world champion at 37. That’s what we are going to do.”
