Here's The October Schedule!

The Beltway Boxing schedule for October is pretty brief but has a number of locals competing.  Here's what is on tap:

Friday, October 4th -- Arena Theatre, Houston, TX -- Frederick, MD cruiserweight Larry "Hitman" Pryor will be in a four-round bout against the undefeated "Nigerian Pit Bull" Efetobor Apochi of Houston by way of Nigeria.  Pryor (11-21, five KO's) lost his last contest by four-round unanimous decision to Raphael Murphy on August 24th in Edinburg, TX.  Apochi (8-0, eight KO's) comes off a seventh-round TKO win over Earl Newman on May 25th in Biloxi, MS.

Friday, October 11th -- Connecticut Convention Center, Hartford, CT -- Undefeated Baltimore, MD heavyweight Cassius Chaney takes on veteran Santander "Cha Cha Azucar" Silgado of Panama City, Panama in an eight-round encounter.  Chaney (16-0, 10 KO's) has scored first-round TKO's in his last two bouts, including one against Joel Caudle on July 19th in Oxon Hill, MD.  Silgado (28-7, 22 KO's) has been stopped in his last three bouts, including a 1st-round TKO loss to Chazz Witherspoon on March 23rd in Atlantic City, NJ.

Friday, October 18th -- Live! Casino, Hanover, MD -- This Jeter Promotions card is the only local card on the October schedule.  We have talked about this card before but there are additions to the lineup.  Germantown, MD featherweight Ebrima Jawara will battle fellow Beltway Boxer James "Too Slick" Early of Seat Pleasant, MD in a six-round bout.  Jawara (2-1, one KO) comes off a six-round unanimous decision win over Marq Johns on August 2nd at Live! Casino.  Early (4-4) lost a six-round decision to Chaise Nelson on September 21st in Covington, KY.

Also on the card, debuting super featherweight Blaze Fidler Hernandez of Arnold, MD will take on equally debuting Antonio Dunton-El, Jr. of Baltimore in a four-rounder.

Friday, October 25th -- 2300 Arena, Philadelphia, PA -- Haymarket, VA welterweight Juan De La Cruz Rodriguez will face James Martin of Philadelphia in a four-round contest.  Rodriguez (8-15-1, six KO's) has lost eight in a row including a six-round TKO loss to Robert Redmond, Jr. on June 1st in Houston, TX. Martin (4-1) looks to bounce back from his first pro loss -- a six-round unanimous decision defeat to Kashon Hutchinson on June 22nd at the 2300 Arena.  Martin holds a four-round unanimous decision win over Jonathan Burrs in August of 2018 in Philadelphia.
