Bowie State University Card Coming Together!

The Shabazz Brothers/Real Deal Boxing Promotions card that will be held on Saturday, September 22 at the A.C. Jordan Arena on the campus of Bowie State University in Bowie, MD is close to completion as a number of bouts are slated for the card.

Bowie resident and 2016 Bowie State graduate Greg "The Sharpshooter" Outlaw is slated to headline the card.  Outlaw (6-0, two KO's) will be in a scheduled six-round bout against Rashad Bogar of Newark, NJ.  Outlaw, a Real Deal Promotions signee, last fought on June 8th and scored a second-round TKO over Dan Murray in Atlantic City, NJ.  Bogar (4-8-1, two KO's) will try to break a four-bout losing streak that includes a six-round unanimous decision loss to John Bauza on September 8th in Atlantic City.

The co-feature will be an eight-round all-Baltimore, MD, light heavyweight affair between Travis "Seveer" Reeves and Devin "Bite" Butcher.  Reeves (15-3-2, seven KO's) looks to bounce back from a 12th round TKO loss to Karo Murat on March 24th in Inselparkhalle, Germany.  The loss broke a 12-bout winning streak.  Butcher (6-2, three KO's) returns to action after losing a six-round unanimous decision to Aidos Yerbossynuly in June of 2017 in Baltimore.

Another eight-round contest is slated to feature returning middleweight Alantez "SlyAza" Fox of Forestville, MD.  Fox (23-1-1, 11 KO's) returns to action after suffering a shoulder injury in his October 21st 12-round unanimous decision loss to Demetrius Andrade in Verona, NY.  Fox fought the entire Andrade bout with the separated shoulder.  No word yet on an opponent for Fox on this card.

Bladensburg, MD featherweight "The Dark Menace" Tiara Brown makes her DiBella Entertainment Promotions debut in a four-round bout against Jasmine Clarkson of Cedar Hill, TX.  Brown (5-0, three KO's) comes off a fifth-round TKO victory over Brittany Cruz on June 30th in Washington, DC. Clarkson (4-12) will be looking to break a five-bout losing streak including her last bout where she lost a four-round unanimous decision to Elvina White on August 8th in Hollywood, CA.

Clarkson is the younger sister of light heavyweight contender Samuel Clarkson and will compete against a Beltway Boxer for the second time.  Clarkson lost an eight-round unanimous decision to Jennifer Salinas in June of 2015 in Woodlawn, MD.

Landover, MD lightweight Tyrek "I.G.B." Irby will be in a four-round contest against Latorie "War Machine" Woodberry of Roanoke, VA. Irby (4-0, two KO's) has not fought since August of 2017 when he scored a first-round KO over Anthony Alston in Washington, DC.  Woodberry (2-7-2) looks to bounce back from a four-round majority decision to Rosalindo Morales on September 2nd in New Cumberland, WVA. 

Also slated to be on this card are Baltimore cruiserweight Muhsin Cason (2-0),  DC featherweight Jordan "Shortdog" White (4-1, three KO's) and debuting Baltimore middleweight Mark Duncan.

The weigh-in for the card is open to the public and will take place on Friday, September 21st at Theodore McKeldin Gymnasium on the campus of Bowie State University located at 14000 Jericho Park Road in Bowie, MD and will begin at 4 PM ET.
