It's time to "lace up the gloves," as boxing returns to Northern Virginia this Saturday night at the ABC Sports Complex. Jeter Promotions and RBA Promotions present a stacked nine-bout card featuring WBC FECARBOX Champion Tony "Mo Better" Jeter and Virginia's own, undefeated Todd "White Lightning" Wilson. V.I.P. tickets cost $75 and general admission seats will set you back just half a C-note ($50.) Doors open at 6:30 PM with the first fight getting under way an hour later.
Wilson (15-0, 4 KOs) will attempt to capture the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) All America Light Welterweight title, in an eight-round co-feature bout. Jeter, fighter/promoter/Renaissance man will defend his FECARBOX Middleweight belt in a 10-rounder midway through the card. Both Jeter (16-4-1, 11 KOs) & Wilson are considered top contenders; and the chance to see them compete on the same night is a real treat.
Also scheduled to appear, Light Middleweight and local favorite (Alexandria, Virginia) Brandon Quarles. Quarles looks to improve on his 12-2-1 record against an opponent to be determined (Most local fight cards aren't official until a day or two before fight night.) Quarles looked downright impressive last month, when he scored a first round TKO of Travis Davidson at the Annandale Boys and Girls Club.
Other fighters likely to battle are Super Middleweights Jerry Odom (10-0) and Edgar Perez (5-8) Cruiserweight Jean Pierre Augustin (2-0) Lightweight Ikem Orji (7-4) and Welterweights Yurii Polischuk (3-1-1) & Edgar "The Tiger" Torres (4-0-1) from Springfield, Virginia. Torres last fought at the ABC Sports Complex in October 2013, when he made quick work (2nd round TKO) of Greg Thomas (0-2) in Torres' debut at 152 lb.
