March 15 Pro Card Is Intact At ABC Sports Complex!

Here is an update on the Saturday, March 15 card at the ABC Sports Complex in Springfield, VA.  The main event will be a six-round encounter featuring Virginia State Middleweight champion "The Pride of Alexandria" Brandon Quarles who will take on Travis Davidson of Vinton, VA.

Quarles is one of six Beltway Boxers slated to be on this card.  Undefeated WBC Interim Fecarbox Middleweight champ Antoine "Action" Douglas battles "The Carolina Kid" Jeremy Yelton of Forest City, NC in a six-round contest.  Douglas (12-0, seven KO's) won the interim Fecarbox title with an eight-round unanimous decision victory over Marquis Davis in a nationally-televised contest on January 17 in Memphis, TN.  Yelton (17-15, eight KO's) will be trying to break a 13-bout losing streak.
