By Allan Fox: Sergey Kovalev and Andre Ward appear to have cleared their impasse for the venue for their November 19 fight. According to Lance Pugmire of the LA Times, the Ward vs. Kovalev fight looks to be headed to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is the same venue that the two fighters were originally supposed to be fighting.
This is good news for boxing fans because many of them were starting to think that Ward would look for an excuse to get out of the fight after he failed to show up for Tuesday’s press conference with Kovalev. At least with the venue of the fight being agreed on, the two camps have settled one sticking point in their negotiations.
