BALTIMORE, MD - Chris Middendorf and United Boxers have planned a sensational evening of professional boxing for this Friday night, April 15th at the Maryland Sportsplex in Millersville, Maryland, just outside of Baltimore.

Over a nine bout action packed card, the inaugural United Boxers Event features the finest in the talent rich Baltimore area.

Headlining the United Boxers Event will be Batimore fan favorite Russell “The Hammer” Shiflett in a scheduled six round cruiserweight battle against Gainesville, Florida’s Willie Chisolm

The undefeated Shiflett, 10-0-1 (5KO’s), returned to the ring in 2010 with three wins, most recently stopping veteran Ariel Espinal in the fourth round in Ranson, West Virginia.

Upset minded Chisolm is a veteran of the rugged Florida fight scene and brings a record of 6-10-0 (2KO’s) into battle.

Co-featured on Friday night is outstanding welterweight prospect Emmanuel “The Tranzformer” Taylor of Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland. Only 20 years old the welterweight has thrilled crowds along the East Coast with his devastating knockout victories.

Taylor, 10-0-0 (8KO's), will see action in a six round tilt against Chicago based warrior Guadalupe Diaz, 5-8-3 (1KO).

In a six round junior middleweight bout, Baltimore’s James “Keep em Sleepin” Stevenson, 13-0-0 (10KO’s) will face off against Jacksonville, Florida’s Jose Angel Roman, a veteran of 46 professional bouts.

Super middleweight contender Jessie “The Beast” Nicklow, 20-2-3 (7KO’s) returns to the ring in a six round matchup against Hannibal, Missouri battler Steve “The Spoiler” Walker, 26-25-0 (18KO’s).
