The Saturday, August 3 Jeter Promotions card at Club One Fitness in Millersville, MD is starting to take shape. This includes a WBC Fecarbox Middleweight title defense for the promoter.
Stevensville, MD's Tony "Mo Better" Jeter will defend his title in a 10-round contest against Victor Hugo "Magnifico" Correa of Mexico City.
Jeter (15-3-1, 10 KO's) last fought on June 8 in DC but his bout with Jimmy LeBlanc went to a no contest during the first round. Correa (15-5, 10 KO's) is coming off a fourth-round TKO victory over Diego Rivera on February 8 in Quretaro, Mexico. Correa fights for the first time in the Eastern part of the United States.
In the co-feature contest, undefeated Baltimore welterweight James "Keep 'Em Sleepin'" Stevenson returns to the ring in an eight-round encounter against Joshua Robertson of Lynchburg, VA. Stevenson (18-0, 11 KO's) has not fought since winning a four-round unanimous decision over Damon Antoine in Cockeysville, MD on November 8. Robertson (5-1, one KO) is coming off a six-round unanimous decision over John Terry on June 26 in Ruffin, NC.
In other bouts slated for the card, DC lightweight Joshua Davis will take on the debuting Darus Somieari of Roanoke, VA. Davis (3-0, two KO's) scored a second-round TKO over Benjamin Burgos on March 2 in Fort Washington, MD.
Rookie DC welterweight Jerrell "Hell-Rell" Harris will face Barry Trotter of Columbia, MD in a four-round encounter.

Trotter (2-1, one KO) returns to the ring for the first time since losing a four-round majority decision to Omar Sims in Upper Marlboro, MD in November of 2011.
Another first-year pro, Salisbury, MD super middleweight Monreco Goldston, will face Jess "Thunder" Noriega of Lynchburg, VA in another four-rounder. Goldston (1-0, one KO) won his pro debut by second-round TKO over Darryl Fields on June 15 in DC. Noriega (1-4, one KO) lost a six-round unanimous decision to Thomas Brown on May 18 in Charlotte, NC.
