Baltimore Boxing to help raise funds for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
Baltimore, MD (Desember 29, 2016) – Jake Smith’s Baltimore Pro Boxing will assist with fundraising efforts for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in association with their “Scary Night at the Fights” card Vrydag, Januarie 13 by Michael se Agtste Laan in Glen Burnie, MD.
A nonprofit headquartered in Rye Brook, NY, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is gestig in 1949 and is the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services.
Baltimore Boxing is providing a helping hand to Dulaney High School junior Erin Hill’s fundraising efforts for LLS by running a 50/50 tombola en stille veiling. Hill, who lost her uncle Gene from Mantle Cell Lymphoma in 2010, is also a nominee for Student of the Year.
“Jake Smith is an amazing person for supporting our fundraising efforts,” said Hill. “He has a great heart and I know he’s always doing things to help others in association with his boxing events. Jake is a very important member in the Baltimore community.”
Headlining “Scary Night at the Fights” is an eight round super middleweight contest between rugged Baltimorean Jessie “The Beast” Nicklow and unbeaten Virginia native Chauncey “Grimm” Fields.
Nicklow het 'n soliede 25-8-3 rekord met 8 knockouts and is a fan favorite in Maryland. He looks to rebound from recent defeats against world class opposition and has never lost in his home state. With only four fights under his belt, Fields is taking a significant step up in competition. Rather than continue the standard record building process, Fields’ team is confident their fighter has much more to gain by defeating the established Nicklow.
Somebody’s 0 must go in the six round co-feature when super middleweights “Dangerous” Donald Wallace and Tahir Thomas square off. Baltimore’s Wallace is 1-0 with a first round knockout and exceeded expectations during his time in the amateurs. Fighting out of Salisbury, MD, Thomas has a solid 4-0-1 grootboek met 3 oorwinnings deur knockout. In sy mees onlangse bout, Thomas drew with 10-0 Antowyan Aikens.
Veteran Michael “The Amazing” Gbenga looks for his 22nd victory when he faces an opponent to be named at light heavyweight.
All ticketholders will also have the opportunity to watch the amateur portion of the card including a heavyweight title rematch between Brian “Bam Bam” Haneschlager and Dallas Butts.
Other pro and amateur bouts will be announced shortly.

Giving back: Baltimore Boxing raises $10,000 to help locals combat medical bills
Baltimore, MD (November 15, 2016) – Jake Smith’s Baltimore Boxing Promotions is proud to announce they’ve raised $10,000 for two area residents with large medical bills associated with extended hospital stays.

Tasker is still hospitalized but made it to Michael’s Eighth to receive the “Mike Dietrich American Dream Award” during an emotional ceremony for his courageous fight against cancer.
“I’ve been in boxing for most of my life as a fighter, afrigter, promoter and gym owner and these last few events were the most emotional for me,"Het Jake Smith. “The community and our fans have been incredible in purchasing tickets while participating in the silent auctions and 50/50 raffles to help those in need. As a lifelong Baltimore resident, it is my duty to give back to the community. Seeing firsthand what the sport of boxing can do to help others in need is a feeling no other.”

Baltimore Boxing se Donald Wallace maak Saterdag pro-debuut in Virginia
Baltimore, MD (Mei 18, 2016) – Baltimore Boks-middelgewig-vooruitsigte “Gevaarlike” Donald Wallace sal na verwagting sy pro-debuut teen mede-nuweling Brian Straus maak in 'n wedstryd van vier rondes Saterdag aand by die ABC-sportkompleks in Springfield, VA.
In die laaste jaar, Wallace het van 'n feitlik onbekende na 'n gerespekteerde opkoms in die berugte moeilike Baltimore-Maryland-DC-streek gegaan. 'n Deelnemer aan die 2016 Olimpiese kwalifiseerders, Wallace het verwagtinge oortref, maar het uiteindelik te kort gekom nadat hy 'n debatteerbare besluit aan die welaangeskrewe Sharif Rahman laat vaar het.
Sedert die nederlaag teen Rahman, Wallace baklei met 'n skyfie op sy skouer en die soort honger wat nodig is om dit in 'n sport wreed soos boks te maak. Noudat sy kort maar suksesvolle amateurloopbaan agter die rug is, Wallace is gefokus op sy toekoms in die betaalde geledere.
“Ek is opgewonde en werk daaraan om my gewig af te kry,” sê Wallace. “My laaste paar amateurgevegte het ek te swaar geveg, maar dit is nie meer ’n probleem nie. Ek het al ondervinding gehad in boks sonder die hoofbedekking tydens die Olimpiese kwalifisering, so ek is nie bekommerd oor daardie aspek nie. Ek hou eintlik daarvan dat die handskoene kleiner is in die voordele, want ek soek 'n uitklophou of stilstand in die eerste rondte om die voordele in styl te betree!"
Jake Smith, Wallace se bestuurder en afrigter, is al meer as drie dekades by die bakleiery betrokke en glo vas in hom.
“Donald het na my toe gekom met geen ondervinding nie, maar die begeerte om te leer en te verbeter. Hy is 'n ongelooflike harde werker en het baie ver in 'n kort tydperk gekom. Ek glo sy werksetiek alleen sal hom plekke in hierdie sport inneem en ek sien uit daarna Saterdag nag. "
