A big fish is coming to this small
boxing pond. The first step on former WBA light
middleweight champion Travis Simms' road to redemption will be
taken in Columbia on Aug. 9 as the headliner of a card at the
Radisson on Bush River Road. It's a big step up in competition

Witherspoon
Fans Disappointed
April 28, 2008 |

(APR 28) All of Moultrie
Witherspoon’s friends and fans were disappointed to learn the
fight with J.D. Chapman scheduled for May 3, 2008 in Paris,
Arkansas was cancelled. We were informed by e-mail that Chapman
injured his arm and it would take about a month to heal. This is
the second time in two months that the fight was cancelled after
having signed contracts. This was a big disappointment but we
also understand that this is the nature of the boxing game.
Moultrie will continue to train and be ready to fight all
comers. We sincerely hope when J.D.’s arm heals, Scott Hirsch
will still honor our agreement and allow J.D. to fight Moultrie.
