DeMarcus "CHOP CHOP" Corley Is Looking To Fight Anybody

DeMarcus Corley has been looking for opponents to fight in the 135 lb- 140 lb weight classes. So far he hasn't had any luck. He is wondering what the problem is and he doesn't seem to have a answer. Is it that the  fighters in those weight classes are afraid of a older fighter making them look bad inside the ring.

Corley released a statement today calling out Karim Mayfield

DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley Answers the Call for Karim Mayfield Again

Over the past couple of days I have been reading and hearing how Karim Mayfield is looking for a new opponent, and they are willing to take on all comers. Well apparently that isn’t the case at all. I’m here to say that they don’t have to look very hard. Not only would I love to fight Karim Mayfield, but over the past couple of days my team has reached out twice about this fight and been turned down twice. So, instead of going to Karim’s promoter I want to put this challenge directly in front of Karim. I’m confident and ready to accept this challenge Karim, and your August 17th fight date fits perfectly on my calendar. I don’t personally have anything against Karim Mayfield and I think he’s talented young fighter, but he’s not ready for me yet and I want to prove that in front of the world. My last two fights have been big wins for me, but make no mistake about it, I expected to win those fights just as I expect to beat Karim Mayfield. Karim, we’re both ranked by the WBA at 140 and interestingly enough rumor has it that the Junior Welterweight Interim WBA Championship was just vacated by Marcos Maidana. Perhaps we can petition the WBA to recognize this fight as an Interim World Title fight. I’m standing right here Karim, and I’m ready here and now to step up. How about you?

Sincerely,

DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley

Gene Molovinsky Keeping Keystone Boxing Promotions Active

If you can't come up with a reason why boxing has been exciting in the DC area, you should agree that the reason is Gene Molovinsky of Keystone Boxing Promotions. Gene Molovinsky has been in the promoting business for over 30 years and his experience is really showing in 2012. The Washington DC area has been in need of a boxing face lift. It's been more than 15 to 20 years since boxing has had an active role in DC. Keystone was smart by using the jump start that Golden Boy Promotions gave DC at the end of 2011 with the Khan vs Peterson bout on December 10, 2011. Molovinsky never turned off the engine. He just kept it running in 2012. Keystone has kept boxing events going in March, May, July, and future dates in August, September, November, and December. It's nothing like going to see a live boxing match and Keystone is making it convenient for the fans. They set their ticket prices so the fans are able to afford them and enjoy a great night of boxing ($35 general admission $60 ringside). Matchmaker Brian Dillon along with Co-Promoter Raymond Bubbles Jackson do a fantastic job of featuring the local fighters on the cards and finding them opponents for the great shows. All three events so far had nothing but great feedback from the fans. After every show the fans look forward to the next event. Keystone is more than happy to please the fans with the next four future dates they have planned at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
