Washington, DC - January 26, 2007. The first annual Belfast-Beltway Boxing Classic took place at the Westin City Center Hotel where our own DC area amateur boxers went toe-to-toe with Ireland's up and coming young boxers.
The bouts also marked the first boxing event for the newly appointed DC Boxing and Wrestling Chair, Jason Turner. Read the DC UrbanSports exclusive interview here >> http://dculs.com/jasonturner.html.
