LA Boxing Bethesda Continues to Host Top Professional Boxers
Bethesda, MD, September 21, 2011 – Washington DC-based LA Boxing DMV continues to play host to world-renowned professional boxers with top-ranked heavyweight Tony “The Tiger” Thompson as he prepares for his October 28, 2011 IBF Heavyweight Championship Elimination Bout versus Eddie Chambers. The elimination bout will be broadcast as a featured “special event” on Showtime’s ShoBox Television Series. Thompson will be training at the newest LA Boxing DMV location in Bethesda, MD.
“We have seen a tremendous amount of excitement and demand for our gyms in the DMV area and equal excitement amongst our members and the public for hosting world-class fighters,” said Brian Sreniawski, company partner for LA Boxing DMV. “Having a stand out, top-ranked athlete like Tony Thompson training at LA Boxing Bethesda is a great boost to our gym and our member morale,” he said. LA Boxing DMV is also putting on an USA Boxing amateur boxing show October 8, 2011 at the Columbia MD location which will be featuring DC Boxing Hall of Famer Ring Announcer Henry “Discombobulating” Jones as the announcer for the event and Tony Thompson will be making a special guest appearance.

About Tony “The Tiger” Thompson: Promoted by Goossen Tutor Promotions, Thompson (36-2, 24 KOs), a 6-foot-6 inch, 250-pounder with an 81.5-inch reach, earned his nickname by virtue of his southpaw stance and reputation of being a vicious hitter with knockout power in both hands. Those qualities — combined with his intimidating size — contribute to Thompson’s dominance in the ring, which saw him go eight full years without a loss until his encounter with Klitschko, which most believe was Wladimir’s toughest defense since.
Thompson’s most recent bout was against Maurice Harris in Reno, Nevada in an IBF Heavyweight Title Elimination bout to claim an IBF #2 world rating. A determined Thompson made quick work of his opponent, knocking him down once in the second round, and ending the fight with another knockdown at 1:51 of the third round, earning the right to challenge the #1 IBF world rated contender, Eddie Chambers in a final World Championship Elimination bout.
