Six Beltway Boxers To Appear on Two Cards on November 21st!

Tuesday, November 21st will be a huge day for Beltway Boxers as six locals will be on two cards in two separate locations.

Three Beltway Boxers will appear on a card at the Coliseum in St. Petersburg, FL and one of the boxers will be in the co-feature contest that will be nationally-televised on FS1.

That boxer will be Washington, DC welterweight David "Day-Day" Grayton who will be in a 10-round contest against undefeated Miguel Cruz of Lake Mary, FL by way of Cincinnati, OH.

Grayton (15-1-1, 11 KO's) looks to build off a five-round technical draw against former world champion Kermit Cintron on March 17th in Reading, PA.  The two clashed heads causing a cut over Cintron's right eye. The referee ruled Cintron could not continue the bout.  Grayton's last win was an eighth-round TKO over fellow local Kareem Martin in August of 2016 in Bethlehem, PA.

Cruz (16-0, 11 KO's) last fought on June 27th and won a 10-round unanimous decision in a rematch against Alex Martin in Bethlehem.  This will be the second time Cruz has fought a Beltway Boxer.  Cruz knocked out Juan Rodriguez in the fourth round in May of 2015 in Philadelphia, PA.

On the undercard, The Russell Brothers -- Antonio and Antuanne of Capitol Heights, MD -- will both be in six-round bouts.  Antonio Russell (9-0, seven KO's) will battle against Marco Antonio Mendoza Chico of Mexico City, Mexico.  Russell comes off a third-round knockout win over Cristian Renteria on September 19th in Bethlehem.  Chico (11-5-1, seven KO's) fights for the first time in 2017 and defeated Jose Pozo by second-round TKO in December of 2016. This will be Chico's first time competing in the United States.

Antuanne Russell (2-0, two KO's) will compete in a six-rounder for the first time in his young pro career when he takes on Larry Yanez of Fort Lauderdale, FL by way of Cuba.  The 2016 US Olympian Russell has won both of his previous pro bouts by first-round knockout.  Yanez (4-7-2) broke a four-bout losing streak with a four-round majority decision victory over Brian Meadows on May 20th in Tampa, FL.

Three more Beltway Boxers will appear on a King's Promotions card at the Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, PA.  Undefeated Forestville, MD welterweight Mykal "The Professor" Fox will be in an eight-round co-feature contest against Manuel "El Chino" Reyes of Los Angeles, CA.  Fox (14-0, four KO's) last fought on June 3rd and won an eight-round unanimous decision over Daniel Sostre in Fort Washington, MD.  Reyes (11-3-1, five KO's) is currently riding an eight-bout winning streak that includes an eight-round unanimous decision over Manuel Garcia on June 2nd in Tijuana, Mexico.

Also, Seat Pleasant, MD featherweight James "Too Slick" Early will be on the card in a four-round bout against undefeated Juan Sanchez of Allentown, PA by way of New York City.  Early (2-1) looks to bounce back from a six-round majority decision loss to Reggie Barnett on December 10th in Springfield, VA.  Sanchez (3-0, one KO) looks to build his record after winning a four-round unanimous decision over Gorwar Karyah on September 19th at the Sands Bethlehem Events Center.

Lanham, MD heavyweight Ralph Alexander returns to action when he takes on the debuting Michael Polite-Coffie of Brooklyn, NY in a four-rounder.  Alexander (0-1) lost his pro debut by first-round TKO to Hasim Rahman, Jr. on April 14th in Oxon Hill, MD.  Polite-Coffie is a former Marine who won the New York City Golden Gloves championship and was ranked number one in the country at super heavyweight.
