FIGHTNIGHT LIVE CELBRATES 60TH BROADCAST ON SATURDAY WITH BELTWAY BATTLES II MEGA-CARD IN D.C.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (May 26, 2022) – A major milestone will be reached on Saturday night in Our Nation’s Capital, as FloSports FIGHTNIGHT LIVE Powered by Everlast airs the 60th live fight card since its inception in May of 2017. The anniversary show – a monster 13-bout “Beltway Battles, Round Two” card in collaboration with Rising Star Promotions, DHH Promotions, TCMFB Boxing and Events DC – begins at 6 p.m. live from the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Southeast Washington, D.C.
“We’re extremely proud to reach 60 shows, and to be celebrating this achievement with a huge event in our new hometown of Washington, D.C., as part of a Beltway Battles series which was created to provide opportunity for local prospects,” said Mark Fratto, Principal and Director of Business Development, Linacre Media. “It’s special to be able to do this alongside Thomas LaManna, who is like family to us, with a great champion in Dusty Hernandez-Harrison who famously faced Thomas in the ring in a firefight that I was able to announce way back in 2016, and with Mike Walters, who has been providing D.C. fighters with a path forward for two decades. Siddique Farooqi and Mykal Fox will be ringside to call the action, and help fans navigate this virtual smorgasbord of top area talent.”
As part of FIGHTNIGHT LIVE’s blockbuster multi-event deal with FloSports, the 6 p.m. card will air in its entirety on FloCombat. FIGHTNIGHT LIVE plans to continue to deliver a regular slate of boxing and MMA cards via the subscription-based FloSports platform.

In Saturday night’s main event, WBA-NABA Gold Champion Greg “Sharp Shooter” Outlaw, Jr. (10-1, 5 KOs) of Glenarden, Md., takes on battle-tested Wilfrido Buelvas (22-15, 16 KOs) of Barranquilla, Colombia, in an eight-round super lightweight contest. Washington, D.C.’s Anthony Peterson (38-1-1, 24 KOs) will go toe-to-toe with Saul Corral (30-18, 13 KOs) of Douglas, Ariz., in the Co-Main Event and Baltimore’s Domnique “Dimes” Crowder (12-0, 8 KOs) will meet Yeison Vargas (20-9, 15 KOs) of Cartagena, Colombia, for the vacant WBA-NABA Gold Super Bantamweight Championship in a special attraction. The featured bouts are part of the highly-anticipated Beltway Battles boxing series, which makes its return with a 13-bout card.
