Temple Hills, MD light heavyweight Jarell Mason Jackson is slated to appear on a June 3 card in Lincoln City, OR. Jackson (6-4-1, two KO's) is scheduled to face Marcus Pernell (11-1, six KO's) of Portland, OR.
Jackson is undefeated in his last four bouts (3-0-1) and is coming off knockout wins in his last two bouts, including a second-round TKO over Henry Mayes on April 21 in Pikesville, MD.
The main event features the return of former undisputed heavyweight champion Riddick "Big Daddy" Bowe (42-1, 33 KOs). Bowe is stated to face recent Joe Mesi foe Ron Bellamy (14-5-4, 9 KOs).
In an interesting twist, the card, which is billed as "Commotion at the Ocean VII," is limited to ages 21 and over.
By the way, there is a debate over whether Bowe should be considered a Beltway Boxer. I have never considered him one because, even though he has a home in Fort Washington, MD, he has always listed his ring hometown as Brooklyn, NY.
In all honesty, I thought, maybe hoped, that Bowe would retire and this wouldn't be an issue, but since he is back, I'll leave the choice up to the fans. Should Riddick Bowe be considered a Beltway Boxer? I'll tabulate the results a week from today.
