The official weigh in for Andre Ward vs. Chad Dawson just got bigger and bolder as Nick Cannon, award winning actor, comedian, multi-media mogul, TV and radio show host, has come aboard to serve as host for the open-to-the-public free admission event, set for Friday, September 7 at the Oakland City Center, City Center Square in Oakland, CA.
Ward vs. Dawson FANFEST, an event filled with a live radio broadcast by the new game in town, 95.7 The Game, music by KBLX, celebrities, food and a beer garden sponsored by Corona, with fan interactive boxing activities brought to you by Everlast, all starting at Noon on Friday. Fans are encouraged to arrive early before the 2:30 PM weigh-in and to find a spot to enjoy the fun and get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime experience and the most dramatic moment leading into the event other than the fight itself, when Oakland’s own Andre Ward and Chad Dawson face each other for the last time before entering the ring on Saturday night at Oracle Arena.
Cannon, who announced via his Twitter @nickcannon that he is making his ring announcing debut at the Ward vs. Dawson event, will call the weights for the main event fighters including the explosive co-featured World Championship bout between the champion from Mexico, Antonio DeMarco vs. California’s John Molina Jr., as well as Ward vs. Dawson.
Tickets priced at $300, $200, $100, $75, $50 and $25 and are available for purchase online at www.oraclearena.com, www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets are also available at the ORACLE Arena box office.
