Final Beltway Card Of 2019 Features Out Of Town Prospects!

The final Beltway-area card of 2019 will take place on Saturday, December 14th at Tyson's Playground in Vienna, VA.  The card will have a number of solid out-of-town prospects but very little local talent will be featured on this TAC Promotions show.  These are the boxers slated to be on the show.  No opponents have been listed.

So far, the only local boxers slated to be on this card will be Greenbelt, MD cruiserweight "The Vanilla Gorilla" Sam Crossed and Washington, DC welterweight Taurean Venable.  Crossed (8-0, five KO's) last fought in December of 2018 and won a tough six-round split decision over Twon Smith in DC.  Venable (0-1) lost his pro debut by first-round knockout against Jonathan Conde on May 18th in DC.   Heavyweight Mike Balogun was originally slated to be on this card but he is no longer on the show. 

Undefeated Brooklyn, NY super welterweight "The Brooklyn Torch" Justin Biggs is slated to headline the show.  Biggs (7-0, six KO's) is coming off an eight-round unanimous decision win over Norberto Gonzalez on August 23rd in Duluth, GA.  The win earned Biggs the WBF Silver International Super Welterweight championship.

Welterweight Michael "Slick" Anderson of East Orange, NJ will be a six-round contest.  Anderson (17-3-1, 12 KO's) looks to bounce back from a 12-round unanimous decision loss to Greg Vendetti on July 12th in Everett, MA for the vacant IBA Super Welterweight championship.  Anderson makes his second trip to Tyson's Playground.  In his last outing, Anderson defeated Juan Rodriguez by six-round unanimous decision on December 15th of 2018.

Another welterweight, Sean Charleston of Riverdale, GA, will be in a six-round bout as well. Charleston (4-0, four KO's) comes off a second-round TKO win over Lashawn Alcocks on August 23rd in Duluth, GA.

Bridgetown, Barbados super welterweight Keithland King makes his United States debut on this show.  King (3-0, three KO's) has fought the bulk of his career in Georgetown, Guyana.  King, a native of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, will be in a four-round encounter.

Raleigh, NC welterweight Damon Towns will be in a four-round contest.  Towns (2-0, two KO's) makes his second straight trip to Tyson's Playground.  Towns scored a first-round TKO over Terrence Brown on April 27th.

Light heavyweight "The Notorious" Travis Peterkin of Brooklyn, NY will be in a four-round contest.  Peterkin (16-1-1, seven KOs) has not fought since September of 2016 when he lost by fifth-round TKO loss to Radivoje Kalajdzic in Miami, OK. Peterkin's last victory came against Larry Pryor in March of 2016 in New York City.  Peterkin won by eight-round unanimous decision.
