We have received more bad news in the Beltway region. BATB has learned that former Beltway amateur standout Aujee "Quick" Tyler has passed away at the age of 22. According to reports, Tyler was shot during an incident in Southeast Washington, DC.
Tyler, who boxed out of Temple Hills, MD, was a two-time National Silver Gloves champion, a five-time Ringside Champion and won titles at the Junior Olympics and the National PAL Tournament. In 2015 at the age of 16, Tyler signed a professional promotional contract with ProBox Management of Florida. Because he could not fight in the United States because of his age, Tyler started his pro career in Mexico where he had a record of 3-1, three KO's. Tyler last fought in November of 2016.
The story is still developing and we hope to have more information for you. BATB sends its deepest condolences to Tyler's family.
