On August 28, 2010, at the Virginia Beach Convention Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia, promoter Nick

Garone of X-Cel Worldwide and promoter Daryl DeCroix of Daryl DeCroix Promotions, will proudly present

two native sons of Virginia in hard-hitting battles as Portsmouth's former NABA Lightweight Boxing

Champion "Dangerous" Dorin Spivey (37-6, 29 KOs) returns in an attempt to regain his belt and Virginia

Beach's power-punching Ultimate Fighter 8 and Strikeforce MMA Sensation Antwain Britt makes his

professional boxing debut.

 

The two will headline a night of world-class mixed martial arts and boxing, entitled "War at the Shore". Also

featured will be the return of Bahamian former NABA Champion Meacher Major "Pain" (17-4-1, 14 KOs), who

lost his title in a sensational battle with Spivey last November, as well as undefeated Newport News-based

super heavyweight Keith "Bad News" Bell in a full-contact MMA showdown.

 

"We've got two of Virginia's biggest fighting stars on one show and a solid undercard of MMA and boxing,

which is a real treat for the fans in Virginia Beach," said an excited Garone. "Dorin Spivey has been one of

the top lightweights in the world for many years. Plus, we've got Antwain Britt, the man nobody can stand up

to in the cage, taking his boulders for fists into the boxing ring. Antwain has made quite a name for himself

in mixed martial arts and I'm sure that punching power like his will also translate quite well into the boxing

ring."

 

"We're very excited to be promoting this event in Virginia Beach," added DeCroix "The Virginia Beach

Convention Center is a first-class venue and we are putting on a first-class show. With five MMA bouts and

five professional boxing bouts, we're bringing together the best of both worlds and it's going to be a great

night!"

 

Opponents for the "War at the Shore" main events and undercard will be announced shortly.
