'Boxing Diva' Aiken Makes Promotional Debut August 27 at DC Star!

Over the past few months, Renee Aiken has made her mark as one of the few successful female matchmakers in the sport. Now, "The Boxing Diva" will make her entry into the promotional ranks as her "Diva Rizen" Promotions will have its initial card on Saturday, August 27 at DC Star Nightclub.

Capitol Heights, MD super bantamweight Thomas "KO" Snow will be in the main event facing off against Colombian veteran Ever Luis Perez in a six-round contest. Snow (15-1, nine KO's) has won five straight since his 2008 loss to Teon Kennedy. Snow is coming off a six-round unanimous decision over Robert DaLuz on July 16 at DC Star. Perez (12-20, nine KO's) has lost two straight and three of his last four. Perez has been stopped in 17 of his 20 losses.

The main event will be one of five scheduled six-round matchups on the card. The co-feature has another Capitol Heights boxer -- super middleweight Henry "Sugar Poo" Buchanan -- taking on Brooklyn, NY vet Ariel "Iron" Espinal. Buchanan (20-2, 13 KO's) has not fought since stopping Bobby Jordan on August 14, 2010 in the ninth round in Norfolk, VA. With this bout, Espinal (8-19-3, four KO's) will be facing a Beltway Boxer for the sixth time in his last seven bouts and the 11th time in his career. Espinal is 1-9 against Beltway Boxer competition as he has faced Russ Shiflett, Dale Robeson-El, Maxell Taylor, Mike Paschall, Steve Wheeler, Scott Sigmon, Julius Kennedy, Alexander Johnson, Larry Brothers and Ishmail Arvin.

Laurel, MD heavyweight "The Big Ticket" Dwayne McRae returns to action on this card against Montgomery, AL heavyweight Kevin Howard. McRae (10-2, six KO's) is coming off a fifth-round stoppage of James Porter at DC Star on April 23. Howard (2-4-1) has not fought since winning a four-round split decision over Abodurin Akinyanju on November 6 in Waldorf, MD.

Undefeated Baltimore junior middleweight Cecil McCalla is also slated to be on this card as he faces "The Bean City Boy" Brian Paul of Lima, OH in a six-rounder. McCalla (13-0, five KO's) scored a third-round TKO over Joey Ortega on May 21 in Wilson, NC. Paul (5-20, three KO's) has lost his last three to name competition -- Billy Lyell, Jeremiah Wiggins and Deandre Latimore.

Also, Columbia, MD middleweight Tony "Mo Better" Jeter will fight a six-round rematch against Darrett Crockett of Rock Hill, SC. Jeter (11-2-1, nine KO's) stopped Crockett in the second round in November of 2008 in Millersville, MD. Crockett (6-24, four KO's) will be trying to break a four-bout losing streak. Should Jeter win this bout, he is scheduled to battle Baltimore's Jessie Nicklow in a highly-anticipated bout in November.

Three local undefeated prospects are slated to be in four-round bouts on this card. Forestville, MD welterweight Alantez "Tez" Fox (5-0, three KO's) will battle Aaron Williams of Ocean Springs, MS (0-1). The 19-year-old Fox put on a strong showing last time at DC Star on July 16, winning a four-round unanimous decision over veteran Mike Denby.

Alexandria, VA middleweight Brandon Quarles (6-0, two KO's) will face Andrew "Drama" Jones of Buffalo, NY (0-8-1). Quarles won a four-round split decision over Corey Preston on July 9 in Atlantic City, NJ.

Also on the card will be DC middleweight Jacey Thompson who won his pro debut at DC Star on July 16 with a first-round TKO over Tevin Parker. Thompson is still looking for an opponent. Four other bouts are scheduled for this card.

Thanks Renee for giving the DMV another outlet for the fighters to box on. As we see boxing is dead in this area and we need cards in DC and surrounding areas in order to bring it back to where it needs to be.

what gym does poo train at

Anonymous said...

Two reasons: One, because it's what I am supposed to do.Secondly, every time people complain about a showcase card like this, I get on my post-fight and end up telling you the card ended up being a LOT better than everyone thought!!

Why don't you all stop complaining and try supporting the cards, or try to promote something better!

By the way, that last comment was from Digital. I'm answering from my phone

Why is Jeter rematching Crockett?
Was there a controversy last time?
I think Nicklow is too small for Jeter.

maybe the reason nobody is giving you a shot to fight a decent fighter is that it doesn't make business sense to have an obviously juvenile under-educated fighter fight a quality name. Maybe if you portray yourself to be more respectible you may get a crack at on of those names that you listed. Come on this is boxing. Nobody cares about who can beat who, obviously-look at lange. People/promoters care about puting asses in the seats! thats it. Who cares if you can knock out the world. also-who cares if you can send soomeone to there house to f**k them up- action/comments will get you about as far as you have gone....some good fights but nothing that matters. Keep on knocking out bums poo

jeter vs nicklow would be good

Anonymous said...

Not trying to start anything but why all the sudden is Jeter willing to meet Nicklow?Don't they train out of the same gym?

Anonymous said...

i just looked at this line up and it is pitiful. all the opponents dont have a 15% of wins what 0-something. this is crazy. atleast get new people for this area to see fight. since you talking about turning dmv to a better area. im going to dover and see whats going on there atleast there will be worthy fights.

any bets that Nicklow/Jeter never takes place

Gary do you really expect me to buy a ticket to support a show like this?
You know the outcome of each bout
just like me and everyone else. It could be a night to gather and shoot the shit with other boxing people but thats about all it is good for.
I bet you would not buy a ticket to watch any of these fights.

Gary Digital Williams said...

If I wasn't doing this job, chances are I would at least try to support the fighters, especially, if there were certain boxers I wanted to see.

Whether you come or not is totally up to you. I'm just putting the info out there!
