McRae to face unbeaten Charles Martin for NABO Title on Klitschko-Jennings undercard! PhilBoxing.com Thu, 26 Mar 2015 Laurel, MD (March 25, 2015) ? Heavyweight hopeful Dwayne ?Big Ticket? McRae will have the opportunity to move up the rankings when he battles unbeaten and highly touted NABO champion Charles Martin in a ten round championship match Saturday, April 25 at Madison Square Garden. The bout takes place prior to the highly anticipated world heavyweight title fight between unified champion Wladimir Klitshcko and undefeated contender Bryant Jennings. Tickets are available on Ticketmaster.com or by calling 866-858-0008. Hailing from Laurel, MD, McRae has a solid 15-3 professional ledger with 8 wins by knockout. Fighting under the Mastermind Boxing banner, McRae is unbeaten in his last six and has lost just once in the last five years. Although most of his fights have taken place in Maryland, Washington, DC and Virginia, the 34-year-old had been lobbying for a bout against a top notch foe. Regarded as one of America?s brightest and fastest rising heavyweights, Martin is an outstanding 20-0-1 with 18 knockouts. Born in St. Louis, MO and based out of Los Angeles, CA, Martin?s derailed three previously unbeaten foes in Vincent Thompson (13-0), Glendy Hernandez (10-0) and Alexander Flores (14-0), stopping the later to become NABO champion. He also owns a second round knockout over former world amateur champion Joey Dawejko, who has since scored six straight victories. ?This is a great opportunity for my career,? said McRae. ?In my eyes, I?m also undefeated since both of my decision losses were controversial and the other fight was stopped unjustly, so my position really should be similar to his.? McRae is also confident that this fight is going to bring him to the next level based on what he?s seen of Martin, the WBO?s #4 and IBF?s #6 ranked contender. ?He?s a decent fighter but I didn?t see anything spectacular. I know what I can do in there and that?s far more important than officially having a 0 at the end of my record. When two fighters get in the ring regardless of who is supposed to be the next great fighter or not, anything can happen and this is my time to show everybody what I?m truly made of!? The McRae-Martin bout may appear as part of the international telecast. More information will follow. Fans can interact with Dwayne by going to Facebook.com/big.ticketmcrae.  |
