War at the Shore in
Virginia Beach The Ultimate Fighter 8 & Strikeforce MMA Sensation Antwain Britt Makes Professional Boxing Debut! Five MMA Bouts and Five Boxing Bouts in One Night!
August 28, 2010 Virginia Beach Convention Center Virginia Beach, Virginia
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.
