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.

The main event on the card will be a six-round contest between Michael Lee of Orange, NJ (8-1, six KO's) against Romain Tomas of Brooklyn, NY by way of France (8-3, one KO).

Saturday, August 7th -- Rock Hill, SC -- Frederick, MD cruiserweight Larry "Hitman" Pryor will be in a six-round contest against Craig Parker of Las Vegas, NV.  Pryor (14-24, eight KO's) looks to bounce back from a third-round knockout loss to Atif Oberlton on May 29th in Carson, CA.  It might be a tough order because Parker has a perfect record --10-0, 10 KO's. Parker's most recent knockout came on February 6th when he knocked out Alexis Eduardo Olmos in the second round in Chihuahua, Mexico.

Saturday, August 14th -- Dignity Health Sports Park, Carson, CA -- Washington, DC bantamweight Antonio "Another" Russell will try for his first title as he battles Emmanuel Rodriguez of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico for the Interim WBA Bantamweight title.  Russell (18-0, 12 KO's) is ranked number two by the WBA and is coming off a seventh-round technical decision win over Juan Carlos Payano on December 19th in Uncasville, CT. Rodriguez (19-2, 12 KO's) is ranked 7th by the WBA and lost a 12th round split decision to Reymart Gaballo for the Interim WBA title on the same December 19th card.  This bout is slated to be televised on Showtime.

Saturday, August 14th -- World Congress Center, Atlanta, GA -- The Rahman Brothers of Baltimore, MD are slated to be on this card in six-round bouts.  Heavyweight Hasim "Goldblooded" Rahman, Jr. will take on Nathan Bedwell of Jackson, TN.  Rahman, Jr. (11-0, five KO's) last fought on June 4th and won a six-round majority decision over Mario Rodriguez Juarez in Matamoros, Mexico.  Bedwell (5-17-1, four KO's) has not fought since June of 2019 when he lost a six-round unanimous decision to Codie Shuffield in Tunica, MS.

Super welterweight Sharif "C3" Rahman battles Donnis Reed of Lemon Grove, CA.  Rahman (4-0, three KO's) comes off a third-round TKO over Gladimir Jacinto on February 6th in Philadelphia, PA.  This is the first scheduled six-round bout for Rahman.  Reed (3-8-1, two KO's) battled to a four-round draw with Adan Gamboa on June 4th in Tijuana, Mexico. 

This card also marks the return of Oxon Hill, MD super lightweight Anthony Peterson who will be in a six-round bout against an opponent to be named.  Peterson (37-1-1, 24 KO's) has not fought since March of 2019 when he fought to a 10-round split decision draw with Algenis Mendez in Oxon Hill.

District Heights, MD super featherweight Renaldo "Misunderstood" Gaines also returns to action on this card in a six-round bout against Nathan Benichou of Puebla, Mexico by way of France.  Gaines (10-2, three KO's) last fought in May of 2019 when he won a four-round unanimous decision over Eduardo Melendez in Washington, DC.  Benichou (2-5, two KO's) is looking to break a five-bout losing streak.
