Beltway Boxers Head to Norfolk September 27!

Boxing returns to the Norfolk Masonic Lodge in Norfolk, VA on Saturday, November 27 and a few Beltway Boxers as well as others familiar to the area will be involved.

Maryland bantamweight Benjamin Borteye (1-0) will battle James Franks of Newport News, VA (2-5-1, two KO's) in a four-round contest.

Baltimore rookie junior middleweight James Stevenson (1-0, one KO) is scheduled to take on David Novia of Roanoke in a four-round bout, just eight days after he is slated to appear on the card at the Maryland Sportplex in Millersville.

The main event will be a six-round contest between "The Pride of Portsmouth" Dorin Spivey (35-5, 28 KO's) vs. Joseph Figueroa (9-49-5, three KO's) of Brooklyn, NY.

The bout of the night could be the four-round contest between Edward "Nuckie" Anderson of Richmond, VA (4-13, three KO's) and Doel Carrasquillo of Lancaster, PA (12-8-1, 10 KO's). Both of these boxers are tough guys.

The card is promoted by Pick Your Fight Promotions of Norfolk, VA. The matchmaker is Asim Hanif.

These bouts have been moved to the 18th of October...Machine

Actually, the 18th is a separate card and I will be posting the update on that card very soon.

Asim is working with both cards but no bouts have been moved from one to the other.

That is correct, the bouts have been moved to October 18th. This fight is not happening on the 27th! I am 100% positive about that.

I have just been informed by the Promoter that the Norfolk card will be rescheduled due to 2 deaths in the family.
My condolences go out to Big Al and his family.

The Oct 18th show in Springfield is a separate show.

Wack show ain't happenin! Thats the way VA works. They give anyone with the fee a promotor license. Bad, bad, bad for the sport.

No, what's bad for the sport is all you 'anons' trying to tear down people who are trying to promote the sport they love.
What's bad is a certain group of individuals seeing others as a threat or competition and posting negative comments about 'a show' and instead of having the decency to support a person who suffered a loss.
You 'anons' are pathetic.

Thanks Linda.
I just got off the phone with Al.
His family is going thru a very rough time now. Despite that he still took the time to call me because he was concerned about the show.
As for the show...he is intent on rescheduling in Oct date tbd.
It seems that most of the fights will hold together. Many thanks to the fighters, trainers, and managers I've spoken to.
Hope to see you at this show Linda and as well as Oct 18th. Also- we're doing another aikido seminar in Nov. Pls call me.
