Casino and Hotel Maryland.

"In our greatest promotion ever in our twenty year history . Jeter Promotions is proud to announce the greatest pairing of local boxers in a regional setting since Sugar Ray Leonard faced Johnny Gant at Landover, Maryland before 19,773 fans in Landover that was in 1979. When the pride of Maryland: Demond Nicholson meets Immanuel Aleem,Glory of Virginia in a rematch of their titanic 2016 draw at The Hall in Live Casino and Hotel Maryland on Saturday, July 26 we expect a hue crowd," said Tony Jeter of Jeter Promotions.

Nicholson is known for his knockout prowess, is coming off a sixth-round stoppage over Daniel Aduku on October 12, 2024 in Bowie, Maryland.

"Nicholson..."Me and Immanuel have been fighting since we were kids. This is more spiritual for myself. This is something to prove to the people who don't know me. They will figure out who I really am because of this fight. Immanuwel is a good fighter. Well respected in the game. We have had similar careers, you have to give him the credit. I have been through a lot more and I will prove that on July 26th. I am a lot fresher. I will prove that I am the better fighter. I look forward to the fight. It is one of the best fights in the area. We will give it our all and may the best man win. This is one of the biggest fights of our careers. It can make or break us," said Nicholson

Aleem Countered by saying, It's a great fight. Me and Nicholson have known each other since we were kids...It's a rematch of a fight that I believe that I won, but we can settle that on July.26th. A win puts me in a better position to get to a world title. I have worked with Jermell Charlo, Errol Spence and Jermall Charlo in the past 3 or 4 years. It helped me with experience. It means a lot being in a big regional fight. We have met a few times in the amateurs, but now this is the pros and we can settle who is the king of the DMV. I am looking at being a risk that everybody wants to take at 168 lbs.

Aleem has a win over Jonathan Cepeda (17-1) and a sixth-round stoppage over number-one ranked contender Ievgen Khytrov. Aleem is unbeaten in his last four bouts and is coming off a draw with Winfred Harris on November 9, 2024 at The Hall in Live! Hotel and Casino.

This battle is for bragging rights to the area that has produced the greatest boxers per capita of metropolitan area in the United States of America.

Joe Gans, Kid Williams, Harry Jeffra, Ken Overlin, Joe Dundee, Mike Dundee, Georgie Abrams, Bob Foster , Holly Mims, Sugar Ray Leonard , Pernell Whittaker, Mark Johnson, Maurice Blocker, Simón Brown up to Tank Davis .The list goes on forever and Nicholson and Aleem will look to add their names to the ranks of DMV ring immortals.

This is not boxing as it used to be but boxing as it ought to be. The Beltway Boxing Battle of the Century!
