Baltimore Boxing Presents “Rumble Young Man Rumble” August 4
Baltimore, MD (July 13, 2016) – Jake Smith’s Baltimore Boxing Promotions
will pay tribute to legendary Muhammad Ali with “Rumble Young Man Rumble” Thursday,
August 4 at Michael’s Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, MD.
During Baltimore Boxing’s June 16 card, Smith, who had his first amateur
fight as part of a charity event hosted by Ali, honored “The Greatest” with a
speech and honorary ten count. He also announced that his next card would be
named after Ali.
Tickets are on sale now by going to Baltimoreboxing.com or calling
410-375-9175. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the first fight starts at 8.
Headlining is a heavyweight slugfest between Dallas Butts and Drew Ryan. In their first meeting, Butts won a controversial decision that upset the pro-Ryan crowd and immediately set the tone for a rematch. Ryan is confident he’ll leave no doubt as to whom the better fighter is and Butts believes he’ll win without question this time around.
Baltimore Boxing standout Joey “Bazooka Joe” Veazey returns for his final
amateur fight against Rashad Kirkpatrick. He was scheduled to finish his
amateur career by competing in the Ringside Tournament but instead opted to
fight locally. Veazey, who is turning pro later this year, won various titles
during his decorated amateur career and has a large fan base.
Wildly popular Clayton Frazier will face an opponent to be named. A
multi-sport star, Frazier is amongst the hungriest local fighters and is coming
off a victory June 16.
Justin “Psycho” Sykes and Ashton “The Goon” Sykes will appear in separate
bouts and other fighters will be added shortly.
“Michael’s Eighth has been a great home for Baltimore Boxing and we’re
expecting another solid crowd,” said Smith. “This will be our second
consecutive card paying homage to the great Muhammad Ali. “Rumble Young Man
Rumble” will feature all competitive fights and boxers giving everything they
have to entertain the crowd. We’ve got a great local following and the exposure
the fighters are getting is only growing. If you’re in the area, please make sure
to
come out and support not just the fighters but local boxing.”
