Boxing is the purest form of competition, one on one with a fight to the finish. The boxing ring is not the place you would expect a young woman to spend most of her time. But Brittany Rogers is no ordinary lady.
Rogers, known to the boxing world as “BAM”, is one of the co-promoter’s for the December 8th NBC Sports Network Fight Night show. The fight card will take place at Temple University’s Pearson / McGonigle Hall on Broad Street in North Philly. The NBCSN broadcast will begin at 9PM ET.
North Philly native and #5 heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings, 15-0, 7 KOs, takes on Bowie Tupou, 22-2, 16 KOs, of Tonga, in the 12-round main event with Jennings’ USBA heavyweight title on the line. The 10-round junior lightweight co-feature bout is a face off between North Philadelphian Teon Kennedy, 17-2-2, 7 KOs, and the undefeated Texan Jerry Belmontes, 17-0, 5 KOs.
“BAM”, a 2011 2011 Temple University graduate, was recently featured on a Comcast SportsNet Philly show. Check it out below.
