More Bouts Announced For August 18th at Live! Casino!

The rest of the Jeter Promotions card that will take place on Saturday, August 18th at Live! Casino in Hanover, MD has been announced.

Before we get to the undercard, the main event between Laurel, MD's Demond "D'Best At It" Nicholson and Issac Rodrigues of  Belem, Para, Brazil will be for the vacant WBC USNBC Super Middleweight title.

An interesting bout on the card will be a four-round lightweight contest between "The Red Comet" Dante Cox of Elkridge, MD and Latorie Woodberry of Roanoke, VA.  For Cox, this will be truly competing in front of his home crowd as he works at Live! Casino as a bartender in the Prime Rib Restaurant.  Cox (2-0, one KO) is coming off a first-round TKO over Tyshae Ferguson on June 16th at the Gardens Ice House in Laurel, MD.  Woodberry (2-6-2) last fought on June 8th and won a four-round majority decision over Mike Conway in Pittsburgh, PA.

There will be a six-round, all-Maryland middleweight bout between Columbia's Ashton "The Goon" Sykes and Baltimore's "Dangerous" Donald Wallace. Sykes (2-1) bounced back from his first pro loss by winning a four-round unanimous decision over Alberto Delgado on June 29th at Martin's West in Woodlawn, MD.  Wallace (2-1-1, one KO) looks to bounce back from a four-round unanimous decision to Zarifbek Nishanbaev in July of 2017 at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, MD. 

Speaking of Nishanbaev, "The Uzbek Warrior" of Arlington, VA by way of Kyrgyzstan will be on this card in a four-round super welterweight bout against veteran Kevin "The Scarecrow" Womack, Jr. of Baltimore.  Nishanbaev (4-1, three KO's) won his last outing by first-round TKO over Cordell Powell on April 28th in Phoenix, AZ.  Womack (8-16-4, six KO's) lost a tough four-round majority decision to Kareem Martin on June 30th in Washington, DC.

In a six-round middleweight rematch, undefeated Francisco "The Cisco Kid" Bustos of Rockville, MD will battle Jauvan John of Brooklyn, NY.  The two boxers fought their last contest against one another on June 16th in Laurel, MD with Bustos (7-0, four KO's) winning a close, four-round unanimous decision over John (2-6-1).

A four-round cruiserweight contest will have Charles Johnson of Washington, DC (0-1) taking on the debuting Chester Stewart of Bowie, MD.  Johnson lost his pro debut against Mushin Cason by four-round unanimous decision in Woodlawn, MD.  Stewart is a former quarterback who played his college ball at Temple University and professionally with the Baltimore Ravens.
