Ardreal Holmes Jr:
“It has been a blessing to be able to headline a card in my hometown. It will be excitement come fight night, then I will execute. I’ve watched Claressa do it for years, and now I get the opportunity to headline.”
“It means everything to have Claressa here. In addition, I am so excited to be fighting on the same card as my brother. I can’t even put into words how excited I am. We’ve been so close to each other for so long, so it’s just an honor to share this moment with him. It’s a dream come true.”
“My dream in this sport is to have every title possible. Once I achieve that in my weight class, I will probably go up and get those titles next.”
