Update On April 20th Rosecroft Card!

The KBW Promotions card that will take place on Saturday, April 20th at Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, MD has a number of changes and additions.

Undefeated DC middleweight Dusty Hernandez Harrison has a new opponent for the card as he will now take on Fred Jenkins, Jr. of Philadelphia, PA in an eight-round contest.  Harrison (31-0-1, 17 KO's) returned to action after two-plus years of inactivity and scored a first-round knockout over Bruce Rumbolz on March 30th in New Albany, IN.  Jenkins (10-5, three KO's) returns to action for the first time since September of 2017 when he lost a six-round unanimous decision to Isaiah Wise in Philadelphia.

Hagerstown, MD super middleweight "The Sexy Albanian" Genc Pllana has a new opponent for his four-round encounter.  Pllana (3-0, one KO) will battle with Jonathan Morgan of Northern Shores, MI.  Pllana (3-0, one KO) last fought on January 26th and won a six-round unanimous decision over Ashton Sykes in Waldorf, MD.  Morgan (0-1) lost his pro debut by third-round stoppage to Cedric Whyckoff on October 26th in Detroit, MI.

A couple of bouts have been added to this card.  Frederick, MD light heavyweight Larry "Hitman" Pryor will face Greg "Hotshot" Hackett of Philadelphia in a four-round contest.  Pryor (10-19, five KO's) has not fought since February of 2018 when he lost a six-round unanimous decision to Alvin Varmall, Jr. in Atlantic City, NJ.  Hackett (2-18-1) last fought on September 22nd and dropped a four-round unanimous decision to Filip Stankovic in Springfield, VA.  This will be Hackett's seventh straight bout in the Beltway.

Also, Silver Spring, MD heavyweight George Harris returns to action in a four-round bout against Lamarco Ellis of Wilson, NC.  Harris (2-0, two KO's) scored a third-round TKO over Lamar Lewis on December 1st in DC.  Ellis (2-5, one KO) won his first two bouts but has now lost five in a row include a July 28th loss to Stanley Wright by four-round unanimous decision.
