Here Is The August Schedule!

The August Beltway Boxing Schedule continues to feature some young talent but also has one boxer competing for an interim world title.  Here is the schedule as of today:

Saturday, August 7th -- 2300 Arena, Philadelphia, PA -- Jeter Promotions will have another card at the 2300 Arena.  A number of Beltway Boxers are slated to appear on this card, including Gwynn Oak, MD lightweight Brandon "The Hitter" Chambers (4-0-1, two KO's).  Chambers comes off a third-round TKO win over Jonathan Gray on April 24th at the 2300 Arena.  Also, Cockeysville, MD super middleweight AJ Williams (3-1, two KO's) returns to action for the first time since February of 2020.  Williams won by third-round knockout over Michael Brock Willis in Hanover, MD.

Forestville, MD super flyweight Jaqeem Hutcherson is also slated for this card.  Hutcherson won his pro debut with a four-round unanimous decision over Jeffery Williams on April 24th at the 2300 Arena.  Also, Baltimore, MD super lightweight Evan Harker will look to win his first bout on this card.  Harker lost his pro debut on April 24th at the 2300 Arena by four-round unanimous decision to Joshua Clark.   All of the locals are looking for opponents on this card.
