Due to incidents that took place last night at the DC Star Nightclub in Washington, DC, the Diva Rize-N Promotions card tonight was cancelled because the Metropolitan Police Department shut down the club.
According to MPD Captain Jeff Brown, there has been a series of incidents at the club in recent weeks that escalated into a stabbing that happened at DC Star Friday night. "Because of those types of incidents, the club has to be shut down for a period of 96 hours while the club's operations are reviewed," Brown said.
Brown also told BATB that the police were unaware the card was taking place at DC Star. "We apologize for the inconvenience," Brown said. "If we had known earlier, we would have gotten the word out a lot sooner."
This is the second time this card has been cancelled. This card was originally scheduled for August but Hurricane Irene forced the postponment.

Two people were stabbed in separate incidents at a D.C. nightclub, early Saturday morning. City police say the first stabbing occurred inside a club called D.C. Star, at 2135 Queens Chapel Rd., NE at 3:15 a.m. A juvenile was the victim. An employee at the club who declined to identify himself said 3:15 a.m. is the normal weekend closing time for D.C. Star.
The second stabbing, police say, occurred outside the club at 3:40 a.m. An adult male was stabbed in that incident.
A public affairs officer for the department says no witnesses came forward at either incident, so there are no descriptions of suspects.
Both victims are expected to recover from their wounds.
There has been a nightclub and dance hall at that location for about 15 years, according to neighbors. The enterprise operated under the name "The Tunnel" until about three years ago, when the name changed to D.C. Star.

Yeah there is something, I haven’t gone public yet but there is a boxer Jessie Nicklow who is 22-2-3 as a pro. He is a good pro who has fought Fernando Guerrero on Showtime. There is a lot of buzz in this area; he called me out a couple of times. I want Ringside Report to know, I haven’t come public yet. Nicklow said that he would fight me for free. Its personal, he wants to win. There should not be any reason this fight cannot be made.
They can’t say I Jeter wanted too much money; Jeter wanted this or wanted that. This fight is going to be one the biggest fights in the Maryland, Baltimore area. The last 20 years. The last big fight was when Pettway fought Eddie VanKirk. It’s a done deal on my side and of course I have to win this Saturday. Barring nothing happens Saturday, you never know. God willing I will get this win. It’s not personal with me, this is all business. Beating him (Nicklow) will erase the seven years of inactivity. There are a lot of local fighters that have big records 22-2 and they were active when I wasn’t active but I am better then them.
If I win this Saturday I will be 12-2-1, you beat a guy with 22 wins? That’s a legitimate win. That is a career changer that will move me forward. It will be in the Du Burns Arena in November. The buzz is out. All we need is the contracts.
Thanks for the post of the article. Can you please tell us what source you got the article from?

Jeter will never fight Jessie, what a joke. Jeter whines abt the commission because he will ONLY fight defenseless bums who have no wins and have been ko'd. He doesn't have the heart to fight Nicklow.
did i hear the ring wasn't even set up at the time of closure?
Brian, this is Digital (in case this comes up anonymous). The ring was never completely set up fron the moment I got there at 5:30!
does anyone know if the fighters gave their ticket money to the promoter and if they did well they get a refund so they can give the money back to the ticket buyers?
it is my understanding that fighters had to turn in the ticket money on October 1st
is she going to give those ticket money back?
Does anybody know if the show well be rescheduled and also if the fighters well get their money back from the "Boxing diva"?
Boogie went to Toledo Ohio for the P.A.L. Boxing Tournment and fought three nites and won the championship and Upton Boxing Center received a team trophy for third place Juan Jenkins
diva said she thought god was sending her a sign when the hurricane shut down her first card. now the police shut down the rescheduled card. maybe god is saying hes tired of mismatches in boxing.
Gary is their any truth to the allagation the promoter kept the ticket money?
