Dominic Wade! DC Urban Sports wishes you the best. I remember that brief interview you granted me at the JB/NFL Player Association Awards dinner last year where you shared that Floyd Mayweather was your favorite boxer.

I asked you what you wanted your fans to know about you, and you humbly and shly replied, “Not much. I’m just me.”

Well, you proudly represent you, and all the Beltway boxers while you’re in Russia doing your thing!

Good luck!

It's true. I think he'll be back in a couple of days. Also heard that Estrada has been cleared by doctors to return. Word was Dom had a shot and being placed on the Olympic team if he had a good showing. Was a great opportunity, but hopefully it won't be the last. keep ur head up Domo!!!
