The first May card will be on Thursday, May 5 as Baltimore Boxing will bring a card to Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, MD. The card will feature the final amateur appearance of Baltimore 154-pounder Joe Veazey who will take on Andre Harris of Pasadena, MD for the East Coast 154-pound championship. Veazey is a former Ringside World Champion and won a silver medal at the Junior Golden Gloves in 2014.
Also on the card, Tyrell Boyd of the Upton Boxing Club in Baltimore will battle Genc Pllana of the Bowerhouse Academy in Frederick, MD for the East Coast Middleweight title.
