As the days wind down towards the “Battle of Virginia” on Saturday, Sept. 17, fans in the Washington, DC metropolitan area will have an opportunity to have an up-close look at some of the participants involved with the card.

On Thursday, Sept. 15, there will be a free public workout for some of the boxers at George Mason University during the school’s Patriot Day celebration. The Patriot Day celebration is a free outdoor festival with food, games and live music. The workout will be from 11 am to 2 pm and will be held in front of the Johnson Center clock tower on the main campus. Jimmy Lange, Perry Ballard, Lamont Pearson, Shamir Reyes and George Mason University alumnus “Money” Mike Sawyer are scheduled to participate. George Mason students can compete to become a guest ring announcer for the card.

The weigh-in will also be free and open to the public. The weigh-in will be held on Friday, Sept. 16 from 1-3 pm at PJ Skidoos, 9908 Lee Highway in Fairfax, VA.
