Frederick, MD middleweight "The Lion King" Jonathan Burrs returns to action in a four-round contest against a highly-touted former amateur champion making his pro debut Tuesday at the MGM Grand Bubble in Las Vegas, NV.
Burrs (2-1) competes for the first time since winning a four-round unanimous decision over Justin Sykes in January of 2019 in Waldorf, MD.
The opponent for Burrs will be Javier Martinez of Milwaukee, WI who was the 2020 Olympic Trials Middleweight champion. One of the boxers Martinez beat on the way to the championship was the Beltway's own Troy Isley.
Both men weighed in for the bout on Monday. Burrs came in at 161.2 while Martinez weighed in at 162 pounds. The bout is scheduled to be shown live on ESPN at 9 PM ET.
