Pro Boxing Event in Charlotte, Saturday, May 21, 2016


On Saturday, May 21, Tommy Hill Boxing will feature professional boxing at the Carole Hoefener Center venue in Charlotte. Ten bouts are scheduled that includes professional boxers of the Dyme Boxing & Fitness stable headed by Coach James Pressley.
 
 
 
The event will be highlighted by a rubber match between John Spidey Williams, who trains at Dyme, and Andre Baker for what is likely a final and deciding third bout between the Charlotte and Lumberton, North Carolina fighters. Baker won the first bout by majority decision back in 2011 and Spidey Williams got a unanimous decision in 2012.
 
Others from Dyme on the card will be long-time local favorites Lee Campbell, a super-middleweight with a record of 9-2 and heavyweight Hassan Lee, originally of Philadelphia but now making his home in Charlotte.
 
 
 
Also scheduled on the card will be identical twins, the Burrell brothers, Dean and Scott Burrell, fighting out of Brooklyn, New York City, each taking on as yet unnamed opponents.
 
Tickets for the event can be purchased in advance at http://tommyhillboxing.com/
 
The event will take place at The Carole Hoefener Center. 610 E. 7th St Charlotte, NC 28202.
