If this Friday’s boxing card at BXF (Boxing Xtreme Fitness) Gym in Millersville, MD had a nickname, it might be called “Stayin’ Busy.” For that is exactly what two of the featured boxers on the card are trying to do now that their careers are back in motion.
The main event features Landover, MD super middleweight “King” James McCAllister in an eight-round contest. McCAllister (10-5-1, three KO’s) is coming off an eight-round unanimous decision over Dhafir Smith on the most recent BXF card on November 4. The Smith bout was his first contest in more than a year.
McCAllister will face Mike Eatmon (7-3, four KO’s) of Wilson, NC. Eatmon’s last performance was a first-round TKO over Johnny Walker on November 5 in Winston-Salem, NC.
The co-feature bout will involve super middleweight Tony “Mo Better” Jeter (pronounced Jet-er) of Columbia, MD. Jeter (4-1, four KO’s) recently made his first appearance in a ring in four years when he scored a second-round TKO over Lawrence Frisby on a BXF card on October 7. On this card, Jeter will be involved in a four-round bout against John Terry of Portsmouth, VA. Terry (2-1, one KO) fought on the Nov. 4 BXF card and won a four-round majority decision over James Shedrick.
Shedrick, a native of Philadelphia, PA, also returns to the BXF Gym to face Rodney Green of Wilson, NC in a four-round light heavyweight contest. Green lost a four-round unanimous decision over Jose Rodriguez on November 10 at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie.
Also on the card, undefeated junior welterweight prospect Tyrell Samuel of Baltimore will face undefeated James Franks of Newport News, VA. Both men are coming off knockout victories. Samuel (3-0, 1 KO) scored a second-round KO over Jonathan Jones on November 10 at Michael's. Franks registered a second-round TKO in his pro debut over Fred Fleming on Nov. 4 at BXF.
There will be four amateur bouts to round out this card.
