Belfast-Beltway Boxing Classic was held at the Westin City Center Hotel in Washington, D.C. for the 3rd year. The boxers from Ireland are from Catholic- and Protestant-sponsored Belfast boxing clubs and traveled to Washington, D.C. for a week to participate in the event. For many of the boys, this was their first trip outside the neighborhoods in which they had grown up. In addition to the event, they spent the week touring the city, and trained at local gyms where they met the D.C. team and coaching staff.

i know this is way off the fight topic but what ever happened to kevin rivers does he fight anymore?

[dcamateurboxing]

@jfckngeezy Yes, Kevin just won the DC Golden Gloves and will box next week in the regionals to advance to Nationals. He already won the USA Regionals and will be headed to the US Nationals at 132lbs. also. He never stopped boxing and is doing well.
