"I was ready to go on October 1 and will be more than ready to go on November19," said Hernandez-Harrison on his return to the ring after two years. "It's been a very tough and challenging time the last few weeks, but getting back to work and inside the ring is where I want and need to be. I look forward to seeing everyone come out to support me, my family and the boxing community as we honor my Dad with the show."
