The fight took place at the Stadion Miejski in Wrocław, Lower Silesian, Poland on September 10, 2011 and was televised via HBO World Championship Boxing.[1] As a part of a split-site doubleheader, the broadcast also featured the Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Daniel Ponce de León bout taking place at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States.[2]
