Undefeated knockout artist Jaidon Codrington (8-0, 8 KO's) of Queens (by way of Bridgeport, CT) will headline the August 4th edition of Broadway Boxing when he faces Levan Easley (17-11-2), also of Queens, in a 10 round bout for the vacant New York State Super Middleweight Title at the Grand Ballroom at Manhattan Center. Promoters Lou DiBella and Damon Dash will make the announcement at a press conference and media luncheon to be held at Gallagher's Steak House on Thursday, July 7. Codrington will put his 8 for 8 knockout streak on the line, and will be joined by his "Chin Checker" partner Curtis Stevens (7-0, 6 KO's) of Brooklyn, who will square off in another super middleweight contest. Emmanuel "Sleek" Clottey has captured three of his last four contests, including a convincing, 10-round unanimous decision over Michael Warrick at Mohegan Sun on October 21, 2004. Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin scored an awesome first round knockout victory in his pro debut at the Manhattan Center.
