Stevenson-Dunham, Coleman-Clay Rematches Headline “Badness in Baltimore” July 25 at t

Baltimore, MD - Junior Middleweight prospect James “Keep Em Sleepin” Stevenson 9-0 (8 KO’s) of Baltimore, MD will look to keep his flawless record intact as he will lace up for a rematch with confident challenger Ken Dunham July 25 the DuBurns Arena. An elite talent in the Beltway area, Stevenson is starting to create a major buzz in the boxing world. Dunham 6-8 (4 KO’s) of Charlotte, NC is looking to avenge his loss earlier this year and will have a wave of confidence when he enters the ring. On June 5, Dunham impressively stopped previously unbeaten hometown favorite Lenwood Dozier in Westminster, MD.


The eight round co-feature will put Baltimore Welterweight prospect Tim “Pit bull” Coleman 15-1-1 (4 KO’s) in a rematch against the extremely underrated “Magnificent” Martinus Clay of Philadelphia. Coleman, whose only loss came via a razor-thin unanimous decision on Showtime, got back on track with an impressive stoppage in April. With arguably the most deceptive record in the sport at 13-20-4 (5 KO’s), Clay has duked it out with heralded pugilists including James Kirkland, Mike Jones, and Andre Berto among many others.


In 2006, the brawny Clay scored a victory over 34-1 Matt Vanda and fought to a draw with unbeaten contender Harry Yorgy. Clay and Coleman battled to a hotly contested draw in 2007, which immediately prompted talks of a rematch.


Cruiserweight prospect Steve “Show Stealer” Wheeler 2-0 (1 KO) will battle the ever famous TBA in a four rounder. The Catonsville, MD native has looked solid in both of his professional bouts.


Heavyweight Seth “Mayhem” Mitchell 12-0-1 (7 KO’s) of Brandywine, MD will appear in a six round special attraction bout against an opponent to be named. A former star linebacker at Michigan State University, Mitchell is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.


Heavyweight prospect Maurice “Freight Train” Byarm 2-0 (2 KO’s) of Washington, DC by way of Philadelphia, PA will duke it out with Wilson, NC’s Maurice Winslow 3-9 (3 KO’s). The cement fisted Byarm will have his hands full as Winslow owns a victory over former world champion Boone Pultz.


Former amateur star Daniel Kooij 3-0 (1 KO) of Baltimore by way of the Czech Republic will tangle with North Carolina’s Octavius Davis 2-2-1 (1 KO) over six at Cruiserweight. Already on the fast track, Kooij defeated grizzled 38 fight veteran Hilario Guzman in his pro debut this May.
