'Super Brawl' Amateur Card Takes Place January 26th At Michael's!

The first Beltway Boxing card of 2018 will be an amateur card that will take place on Friday, January 26th at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, MD.  Baltimore Boxing will be the promoter.

The card, dubbed the "Super Brawl of Boxing" will be headlined by a unification middleweight bout between Maryland State titleholder Deshawn Chase of Baltimore Boxing taking on East Coast champion Marquis Moore of Salisbury's Main Street Gym.

The card will also feature the boxing debut of former pro football player Leon Joe.  Originally from Dayton, OH, Joe, a linebacker, played his high school football at Friendly High School in Fort Washington, MD and his college ball at the University of Maryland.  Joe was drafted in the fourth round by the Chicago Bears and participated in Super Bowl XLI.  Joe also played for the Arizona Cardinals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars and Detroit Lions before playing two years in the Canadian Football League.

There will also be a fundraiser for Tina Frost. On October 1, Frost was shot in the head during the mass shooting in Las Vegas. Her right eye was removed and spent time in a rehab facility. Originally from Baltimore, the 28-year-old Frost was working as a CPA for Ernst & Young in San Diego but is back in Maryland with her family. While Frost has made great progress, she has a long way to go and has a mound of medical bills that will only continue to grow.  To assist the Frost family, Baltimore Boxing will have a 50/50 raffle and a silent auction. Those unable to make it to the card are encouraged to donate at https://www.gofundme.com/mary-watson-moreland.

“What happened to Tina is incredibly sad,” said promoter Jake Smith. “She was professionally successful and had everything going for her in life. It is a true tragedy what happened to her and all of the other shooting victims in Las Vegas. Baltimore Boxing’s fans have done a great job of getting behind the causes we support and we hope everybody is able to come out on the 26th to help raise money for the Frost family.”
