Baltimore Boxing Returns May 5

PhilBoxing.com


Baltimore, MD (April 6, 2016) ? Jake Smith?s Baltimore Boxing Promotions will once again take over Michael?s Eighth Avenue Thursday, May 5 in Glen Burnie, MD.

The card will serve as a tribute to Murray ?Bushwacker? Smith Sr., the father of Baltimore Boxing?s Jake Smith. Smith Sr., a well-known figure in the Baltimore area for decades, was a longtime event promoter who lost his battle with Melanoma in 2013.

Tickets purchased in advance start at $25, reserved seats are $35, reserved tables for ten are $350, $50 VIP seats and $500 VIP tables of 10 can be purchased by calling 410-375-9175. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the fights begin at 8.

Topping the card will be a showdown between local star Joey ?Bazooka Joe? Veazy and Andre Harris of Pasadena, MD. Fighting out of the Baltimore Boxing Club, Veazy won numerous titles since his earliest days in the sport and is one of the top prospects in the talent-rich DC-Maryland-Virginia area. A big ticket seller, a legion of ?Bazooka Joe? supporters come out every time he fights.

Veazy and Harris meet for the East Coast 154 pound championship in what will be Veazy?s final amateur bout.

Tyrell Boyd of the Upton Boxing Club meets Genc Pllana for the East Coast middleweight title. Boyd is a former champion and looks to recapture the crown while Pllana is fresh off an upset win over well regarded Donald Wallace.

Popular Clayton Frazier and former Stevenson University basketball standout Stefon McCray are slated to appear on the card against opponents to be announced. Additional bouts will be added shortly.

?Joey?s been representing the Baltimore Boxing Club and training there for a while now,? said Smith, who is also the owner and head trainer at Baltimore Boxing Gym. ?We?ve had great success during his amateur career but I?m looking forward to turning him pro in the immediate future. On the 5th, fans will not only get to see Veazy fight for a title in his last amateur match but also a middleweight championship fight between Tyrell Boy and Genc Pllana. Pllana surprised all of us by beating Donald Wallace last time out and Boyd wants his title back. We?ve also got Clayton Frazier and Stefon McCray competing plus additional fan friendly bouts to be added.?
