AceShowbiz - Ray J is set to face Orlando Brown on the undercard of Claressa Shields’ heavyweight title defense event, AllHipHop reports. This announcement comes after Ray J was knocked out in May by Supa Hot Fire, a loss that led to his hospitalization due to concerns over a possible concussion and heart complications.

Bloodyelbow also detailed that Ray J was knocked out in the second round at Brand Risk Promotions 14 and subsequently admitted to the hospital where doctors investigated his health issues. The fight is scheduled for August 15 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, featuring a mix of celebrity bouts alongside Shields’ championship fight against Kaye Scott.
