Boxing Returns to DuBurns on Friday, June 22!

Undefeated Baltimore-area boxers "The American Dream" Mike Dietrich and Jessie "The Beast" Nicklow headline the next Baltimore Boxing card on Friday, June 22 at DuBurns Arena.

Dundalk, MD's Dietrich (8-0, three KO's) will take on veteran Gary Campbell of Opa Locka, FL in a heavyweight matchup. Dietrich made a successful return to boxing on the last DuBurns card on May 11 when he won a four-round unanimous decision over "The People's Champion" Jonathan Felton. Campbell (6-8-2, four KO's) last fought on February 3 when he won a four-round unanimous decision over Cecil Smith in Fisherville, VA.

Severn, MD's Nicklow (11-0-1, five KO's) will battle his most experienced opponent to date when he faces Richard "Tiger" Lee Hall of Rocky Mount, NC. Nicklow is coming off his second consecutive third round TKO when he stopped Larry "The Gladiator" Brothers on May 25 at the DC Armory. Prior to that, Nicklow stopped Matt Berkshire in the third on May 11 on the last DuBurns card. Hall (10-18-2, six KO's) fought to a six-round draw with Luis Alberto Santiago on June 8 in Philadelphia. Nicklow will be the sixth Beltway Boxer Hall has faced in his eight-year career, joining the likes of Ishmail "The Arsenal" Arvin, Antonio "Starchild" Reese, Marlon Haynes, Cliff Richard and Ricardo Edmonds . Hall is 2-3 against Beltway competition, scoring victories over Reese and Edmonds.

This card will mark the debut of Salisbury, MD super middleweight Stew Jones who will take on Columbia, MD's Steve Garrett. Garrett has not fought since October 7, 2005 at BXF in Millersville, MD when he lost a six-round unanimous decision to Jarell Mason Jackson. Garrett is 2-4, one KO and is looking to break a three-bout losing streak.

Also looking to break a three-bout losing streak is Baltimore super middleweight Henry "Hurricane" Mayes. Mayes (5-3, four KO's) is coming off a third-round TKO loss to Nick "Flash" Collins on the May 11 DuBurns card. Mayes will take on Baltimore veteran Mike McFail, who is winless in his last 10 bouts. McFail (12-34-2, four KO's) has been stopped in his last two bouts, including a sixth-round TKO to Julius Fogle on February 3 in Greensboro, NC.

Another veteran, popular "Diamond" Matt Hill of Reisterstown, MD, will also be on the card facing Indianapolis, IN's Jerome Elder. Hill (8-30-2, four KO's) is coming off a four-round stoppage loss to Earl "Mighty Mouse" Cole in Cole's pro debut on March 10 in Pikesville, MD. Elder (9-12, nine KO's) has lost nine in a row, including a six-round unanimous decision loss to Chad Greenleaf on December 9, 2006 in Parkersburg, WV.

At least one more bout will be added to the pro card plus an amateur portion is also slated for this show. More details as they come in.
