September Is A Great Month For Amateur Boxing Action!

If you like Beltway amateur action, then September will be your month. A number of Amateur events are taking place early in the month.

The Cease Fire Don't Smoke The Brothers And Sisters event that was slated for August 27th has now been moved to Saturday, September 3. The event, which also features a cookout, will still be at the Upshur Recreation Center on 14th street and Arkansas Avenue in Northwest Washington.

There will be an all-female amateur boxing card at the Sugar Ray Leonard Boxing Center in Palmer Park, MD on Friday, September 9. The card begins at 7:30. Yours truly will serve as ring announcer.

(Just as a personal aside, the weekend of September 9 will be a busy one for me. I am honored to say that I have been chosen as the public address announcer for the AT&T Nation's Football Classic at RFK Stadium in DC on Saturday, September 10. The game matches the Howard University Bison and the Morehouse College Maroon Tigers. I will still try to make the Patriot Center card on that night as well.)

Also on September 10, Mike Paschall is promoting an amateur card at the Maryland Sportsplex in Millersville, MD.
