CLEVELAND — Ahead of the coming fight night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Sunday, when former UFC champion Tyron Woodley takes on a once-local YouTuber, organizers will hold a workout open to the public at Cleveland’s Public Square on Wednesday. The fighters from the main event will be joined by six others from the Showtime PPV fight card.
Cavs in-game host Ahmaad Crump will emcee the event with DJ Kosherknuts providing pump-up tracks.
UPDATE: Due to inclement weather, today’s open media workout will be delayed until 5 p.m.
The original schedule:
4:00 p.m. – Charles Conwell
4:15 p.m. – Montana Love
4:30 p.m. – Ivan Baranchyk
4:45 p.m. – Tommy Fury
5:00 p.m. – Daniel Dubois
5:15 p.m. – Tyron Woodley
5:30 p.m. – Amanda Serrano
5:45 p.m. – Jake Paul
For most of you, though, this is not a sports story, but a traffic story.
A spokesperson for the City of Cleveland said those removed jersey barriers spotted by the public this morning will be put back ahead of Thursday's morning commute.
Saw some chatter on Twitter this AM about Public Square jersey barriers perhaps, maybe, possibly finally coming down. Nope. Turns out it's prep for a boxing event today. The jersey barriers remain undefeated. Photos from @DaveKraska pic.twitter.com/mUZJKQP1cx
