Saturday’s FIGHTNIGHT LIVE card is headlined by contender Alantez “SlyAza” Fox (24-1-1, 11 KOs), who has stood out not only in the D.C. area but on the national level as well. Fox faces veteran Nick Brinson (19-4-2, 9 KOs) of upstate New York in a super middleweight contest over eight rounds. Recently named “Washington D.C.
