The March Beltway Boxing Schedule features two cards that will be held at two Maryland casinos plus the semifinals of the Washington Golden Gloves.  There will also be good opportunities for locals on the road.  Here is the March schedule:

Saturday, March 2nd -- Priory Grand Hall, Pittsburgh, PA -- Washington, DC super bantamweight Daron "Sweet Tay" Williams will battle Oleg Dovhun of Pittsburgh by way of the Ukraine in an eight-round contest for the vacant American Boxing Federation USA Super Bantamweight title.  Williams (7-0, four KO's) scored a fourth-round TKO over Marco Antonio Mendoza Chico on June 30th in DC.  Dovhun (7-0, two KO's) comes off a four-round unanimous decision over Darel Harris on October 20th at the Priory Grand Hall.  This will be Dovhun's fourth straight appearance at this venue.

Friday, March 8th -- Live! Casino, Hanover, MD -- This is the first of two cards held at local casinos.  The Jeter Promotions card was previewed earlier but there are a couple of changes.  Baltimore super middleweight "Dangerous" Donald Wallace (3-1-1, two KO's) will now take on Pablo Velez of Durham, NC in a six-round bout.  Velez (7-3-1, five KO's) will look to break a three-bout losing streak which includes a first-round knockout loss to Mike Snider on August 25th in Wheeling, WVA.  Also, Newport News, VA heavyweight Jerry "Slug" Forrest will be in action against Grover Young of Memphis, TN.  This will be an eight-round contest.  Forrest (23-2, 19 KO's) is coming off a first-round TKO over Jaudiel Zepeda on February 9th in Norfolk. Young (13-25-3, nine KO's) broke an eight-bout losing streak with a fourth-round TKO over previously undefeated Javonta Charles on July 21st in Memphis, TN.  Young's last two losses in his streak both came against Forrest -- a six-round unanimous decision loss to Forrest in June of 2017 in Baltimore and a first-round disqualification in Norfolk in August of 2017.
