About Me
- Gary Digital Williams
- BATB is "The place to go if you want to know about any upcoming show or results, from amateur to the pros, in Virginia, Maryland and the District." -- Thom Loverro, The Washington Times. I've covered the Boxing scene in the Washington, DC/Baltimore area for 36 years. I was inducted into the Washington, DC Boxing Hall of Fame in November, 2009. I am also a feature writer for Fightnews.com. I was the play-by-play announcer on the TV series "Boxing Spotlight" which highlighted pro boxing along the Beltway. I have also appeared on numerous radio stations across the country talking about the sport. You can hear my audio commentaries, interviews and play-by-play calls by downloading the free Boxing Along The Beltway Podcast Network on Spreaker.com, IHeartradio.com, Stitcher.com,Tunein.com, Podcast Addict, Google Podcasts and Spotify! I'm also proud to say that I am in my 26th year serving as the public address announcer for Coppin State University Eagles Men's and Women's Basketball! I also cover boxing and the Washington pro football team for the Washington Informer Newspaper!

VERY interesting-I had no idea being a ring announcer required so much work-just all the people he has to interview alone! Who's next in this series (and when)?
Next will be "The Auctioneer" Brad Dudley. I will try to do the interview no later than Tuesday.
Mr. Williams...this is a great series! It is so good to get familiar with the other players involved in boxing and see all that is involved in their jobs. Very interesting to see beyond the few minutes in the ring and how much preparation goes into ring announcing. I hope to get out to Sprinfield in the future and look forward to hearing Mr. Crawford announce.

Gary,
Just read about your site on Ringside Report.com and came over. Enjoyed this audio and being a guy who lives in Springfield, VA, I am going to catch the fights here next time around.
Thanks-
Jason Templeton
