FREDERICK, March 16 – Hardwork Promotions presents an exciting night of professional boxing in Frederick, Maryland, on Saturday night, March 23, 2013. The boxing card, entitled, “Dedication,” will be held at the Frederick Fight Club, 244 S. Jefferson Street, Frederick, Maryland, 21701.

The first bout will begin at 7:00pm. Doors will open at 6:00pm.

Hardwork Promotions was formed by Venroy July, who works in Baltimore, Maryland, as both a professional cruiserweight boxer and an attorney. July recognizes the hardships endured by fighters and plans to use boxing as a means to have them empower their communities, and as such Hardwork Promotions plans to donate a portion of its profits from each show to a desigated nonprofit organizion. Consistent with this goal, a portion of the profits from “Dedication” will be donated to the Salute Military Golf Association “whose mission is to provide rehabilitative golf experiences and family-inclusive golf opportunities for post-9/11 wounded war veterans in an effort to improve the quality of life for these American heroes.”

The fighters to be featured on the card include:
Ytalo Perea, an accomplished amateur fighter, having represented Ecuador in the 2012 Olympics, and holds on his resume a win over U.S. heavyweight olympian, Dominic Breazeale. Perea will be making his pro debut on “Dedication,” and plans to start the quest to becoming the next great heavyweight.

Dillon “the Stalker” Hayman (Frederick, MD, Pro Record: 3-0-0, 2 KOs) is a local fan favorite who looks to continue his three fight win streak in front of his hometown fans. As an amateur boxer, Hayman won the 2011 Maryland Golden Gloves Champion (junior) at 152 lbs. He is currently a freshman at Montgomery Community College.

Devar “The Warrior” Ferhadi (Frederick, MD, Pro Record: 1-0, 1 KO) brings devastating power punching ability to the light heavyweight division. In his pro debut, Ferhadi stopped his opponent with a vicious body shot. Ferhadi competed for a spot on the Iraqi National Boxing Team.
