Bouts Altered For Beltway Boxers!

A couple of upcoming matchups scheduled to feature Beltway Boxers have changed for various reasons.  

Undefeated DC boxer Dusty Hernandez Harrison has pulled out of his Friday, November 27th bout against Demetrius Andrade at the Seminole Hard Rock and Casino in Hollywood, FL because of reported weight issues.  Harrison (34-0-1, 20 KO's) fought his last bout on February 8th at 175 pounds and reportedly has blown up to about 200 pounds and the weight was too much to lose in a month's time.

Right now, there is no word on Andrade's new opponent but there is the word that one of the possibilities is another undefeated Beltway Boxer, D'Mitrius "Big Meech" Ballard of Temple Hills, MD who has not fought since December 5th when he battled Yamaguchi Falcao to a 10-round draw in Costa Mesa, CA for the vacant NABF Middleweight title.  Ballard is 20-0-1, 13 KO's.

By the way, Columbia, MD super middleweight Ashton "The Goon" Sykes (5-3, one KO) is still scheduled to be on the card to take on undefeated Alexis Espino of Las Vegas, NV (6-0, four KO's) in a contest scheduled for either four or six rounds.

There are also reports that Hagerstown, MD super middleweight "The Sexy Albanian" Genc Pllana will have a new opponent for his Saturday, November 21st contest at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA.  Khainell Wheeler of Bethlehem, PA will replace Brandon Robinson in the six-round contest.  Wheeler is 4-0 with four first-round knockouts.  Wheeler needed just 37 seconds to win his last bout against Patrick Pierre on December 14th in Harrisburg, PA.  Pllana has a record of 8-2-1, four KO's.
