There is one more boxing card along the Beltway this fall. However, this is not for the general public. It's the annual "Fight Night" on Friday, November 11 at the Washington Hilton and Towers.
Quite frankly, the boxing card usually is not very good. The draw for this event is always the number of boxing legends that come to this show. Men like Joe Frazier, Carmen Basilio, Jake La Motta, Ken Norton and Earnie Shavers are usually fixtures at this event, that raises money for a number of children's charities.
This is one of those events where you have to be in a very rich loop to attend and if you haven't received a ticket yet, you're probably out of luck.
One other note: Silver Spring heavyweight Adele "Super Bad" Olakanye will be on the October 1 James Toney-Dominick Guinn card in Reno, NV. Olakanye (6-3-2, four KO's) will be looking for the upset when he faces undefeated New Zealand heavyweight "The Mountain Warrior" Steve Cameron (13-0, 12 KO's).

Any idea who'll be on this card or either of the Michael's cards?
As far as the Fight Night show. The only name I've heard is an out-of-town cruiser named Chad Van Sickle. But that's not definite yet.
Last I heard, the Ballroom show on Sept. 29 might feature Kermit Cintron. But again, I haven't heard anything definite.
I heard James McCallister, Tim coleman, and some others are on the local card in Millersville. any idea of opponents or the complete card?
I heard those names associated with the October 7 show, but I usually wait until I hear from the matchmaker just to make sure.
As soon as I hear definite, I will post the info.
Good to see Tony Jeter boxing again. Hey Gary, any idea who'll be on the card on the 14th?
