DC Has First 2006 Card on March 3 at Lincoln Theatre!

After an almost nine-month absence, Washington, DC will finally host a boxing card. This card, called "Fighting on the U" will be on Friday, March 3 at the historic Lincoln Theatre on U Street in DC.

Right now, this event looks loaded with solid Beltway Boxing names. The main event is set and it will be a matchup between two boxers from Capitol Heights, MD. Undefeated Henry "Sugar Poo" Buchanan will take on Lloyd "Jabba" Bryan in Bryan's first appearance along the Beltway in more than seven years. This bout is listed as a "championship title fight" but no one seems to know what title they will be fighting for.

Among the other notables scheduled for this card will be former WBO Junior Welterweight champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley, who fights here for the first time since his 2004 victory over Darryll Tyson.

Also slated for this card are three boxers who are coming off of tough performances; Purcell "Hard Rock" Miller , Reggie "The Mechanic" Holly and Tony "Mo Better" Jeter. Miller fought to a six-round draw last November at the Show Place Arena in his first bout in five years. Both Holly and Jeter were knocked out in their last outings.

Also scheduled for this card is undefeated New York based female boxer Chika Nakamura. Nakamura, a junior welterweight, is 2-0, 1 KO.

The card is being promoted by a brand new face on the scene, Cassandra White and her company CW Promotions. White has been noticed at recent cards along the Beltway, taking notes and learning her trade. If she can keep this card as is, she will be off to a good start. Assisting her with this card is one of the legendary names along the Beltway, Julius "Juice" Gatling.
