Hernandez Harrison, Cheney, Davis To Have Bouts On July 19th Card At MGM National Harbor Casino!

Three Beltway Boxers will be a part of the Top Rank-promoted card on Friday, July 19th at the MGM National Harbor Casino in Oxon Hill, MD.

Undefeated DC middleweight Dusty Hernandez Harrison will be in an eight-round contest against Juan "La Amenaza" De Angel of Barranquilla, Colombia.  Harrison (32-0-1, 18 KO's) is coming off a fourth-round knockout victory over Fred Jenkins, Jr. on April 20th in Fort Washington, MD. De Angel (21-11-1, 19 KO's) will be looking to break a two-bout losing streak.  De Angel lost by eight-round unanimous decision to Habib Ahmed on May 25th in Biloxi, MS.  This will be De Angel's second trip to the MGM National Harbor Casino.  In May of 2018, De Angel lost to Immanuwel Aleem by sixth-round stoppage.  De Angel was also knocked out in the fourth round by Antoine Douglas in July of 2017.

Baltimore, MD heavyweight Cassius Chaney will compete for the first time in the Beltway when he faces Joel "Quiet Storm" Caudle of Raleigh, NC in a bout scheduled for either six or eight rounds.  Chaney (15-0, nine KO's) notched a first-round TKO over Christian Mariscal on March 30th in Philadelphia, PA.  Caudle (8-2-2, five KO's) looks to bounce back from a six-round majority decision loss to Johnnie Langston on February 23rd in Charlotte, NC.  Caudle will compete for the second time in the Beltway.  On October 18th, Caudle won an eight-round split decision over Kimdo Bethel Boykin in Washington, DC.

In a four-round bout, Lusby, MD super featherweight Nathaniel "ASAP" Davis will take on Rolando Vargas of Milwaukee, WI.  Davis (1-0, one KO) made a quality pro debut on June 1st in Waldorf, MD when he scored a second-round TKO over Alex Rivera.  Vargas (2-0, two KO's) has knocked out both of his previous opponents in the first round.

The card, which is slated to be streamed live on ESPN+, will be headlined by two 12-round IBF elimination contests that feature four undefeated boxers.  Lightweight Teofimo "El Brooklyn" Lopez of Brooklyn, NY will battle Masayoshi Nakatani of Osaka, Japan. Lopez (13-0, 11 KO's) represented Honduras in the 2016 Olympics and is currently the holder of four regional titles and ranked fourth in the world by the IBF.  Lopez is coming off a fifth-round knockout of Edis Tatli on April 20th in New York City.

Nakatani (18-0, 12 KO's) is the current OPBF Lightweight champion and is the IBF's third-ranked boxer.  Nakatani also makes his United States debut after competing exclusively in Japan.  Nakatani last fought on December 9th and scored a fourth-round TKO over Hurricane Futa in Osaka.

In an IBF Super Lightweight elimination contest, Maxim "Mad Max" Dadashev of Oxnard, CA will take on Subriel "Browny" Matias of Fajardo, Puerto Rico.  Dadashev, a native of St. Petersburg, Russia (13-0, 11 KO's) will try to build on a fourth-round knockout win over Ricky Sismudo on March 23rd in Costa Mesa, CA.  Dadashev is ranked third in the world by the IBF.  Matias (13-0, 13 KO's) is ranked eighth by the IBF and is coming off a sixth-round knockout of Wilberth Lopez on March 2nd in Fajardo.
