Rising heavyweight stars Seth “Mayhem” Mitchell and Maurice “Freight Train” Byarm and popular contender Fernando Guerrero each announced that they’ll attend the “Boxing For Boobs” amateur show to honor Breast Cancer awareness.
The card takes place Friday, November 11 at the Du Burns Arena in Baltimore, MD and is promoted by Jake Smith’s Baltimore Boxing Promotions in association Chris Nissley. Following the show, Smith and Nissley will make a charitable contribution to the American Breast Cancer Foundation.
Widely regarded as America’s best heavyweight hopeful, Mitchell is 23-0 with 17 wins by knockout. The 29 year old Brandywine, MD native was an All-American linebacker at Michigan State and is slated to challenge Timor Ibragimov Saturday, December 10 on HBO.
A likable and personable figure outside of the squared circle, Byarm is a throwback heavyweight who makes new fans each and every time he fights. At 13-0-1 with 9 wins by knockout, the Washington, DC based fighter is working his way up the ranks and is expected to make his national TV debut in the near future.
One of the most popular regional fighters in America, Guerrero, 21-1 (16 KO’s), is a contender in both the junior middle and middleweight divisions. The Salisbury, MD based Dominican brings massive crowds each time he fights at home, in addition to making a name for himself on an international level due to his fan-friendly style.
“It means a ton to get support from the pro fighters in the area,” said Smith, who promoted some of Mitchell and Byarm’s bouts. “This is going to be a special night without question.”
Local pros, including 17-year-old phenom Dusty Harrison, Steve Wheeler and Alex Guerrero will also be on hand.
All fighters will be available to take pictures and sign autographs for ticketholders.
To help raise awareness, four local women, Chantel Fletcher, Nicole Cruz, Angie Braccia and Amy Heath will be amongst the participants fighting to help knockout breast cancer.
Tickets to “Boxing for Boobs” start at $20 and are available on Baltimoreboxing.com or by calling 410-375-9175 or 443-848-6059. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the first bout is scheduled for 8 o’clock.
