There are two more bouts that have been announced for the Saturday, December 8th Shabazz Brotherz card at the AC Jordan Arena at Bowie State University in Bowie, MD.
In a six-round heavyweight bout, undefeated Baltimore, MD heavyweight Hasim "Gold Blooded" Rahman, Jr. will take on Kendrick Houston of North Carolina. Rahman, Jr. (6-0, four KO's) last fought on August 17th and won his first six-rounder by unanimous decision over Raymond Ochieng in Hinckley, MN.
