Featherstone Amateur Swan Song Highlights Amateur Card in Baltimore September 20th!

Baltimore Boxing is bringing an amateur card to the William Myers Pavilion on Saturday, September 20th at 7:30 PM.  Myers Pavilion is located at 4300 West Bay Avenue in Brooklyn, MD.

The featured bout will mark the amateur finale for Baltimore middleweight Jerome Featherstone.  The 2013 Regional Golden Gloves champion will battle Francisco Bustos of Washington, DC for the East Coast Middleweight championship.  Featherstone, who started boxing just two years ago, is looking to turn pro by the end of this year.

There will be two other title bouts on the card.  Joey Veazey, who won a silver medal at the 2014 National Junior Golden Gloves, battles Keayen Coleman for the Maryland Welterweight title and Justin Knight faces Allan Burris for the Maryland Junior Welterweight championship.  

There will also be an award presentation -- the Murray B. Smith "School of Hard Knocks" award -- named after promoter Jake Smith's father.  The award will go to former IBF Junior Middleweight champion and Baltimore's own Vincent "The Ambassador" Pettway.
