Philadelphia (September 16, 2014)- It was yet another great evening of boxing as Joe Hand Promotions & D and D Management staged the 2nd installment of Tuesday Night Fights at a near capacity crowd at the 2300 in South Philadelphia.

The series which is designed to showcase young up and coming talent from both the professional and amateur ranks in the Philadelphia region delivered excitement for the 2nd consecutive show.

In the final professional bout, Donte Wright made a successful pro debut by winning a hard fought and grueling 4-round majority decision over Lionel Charles of New York. Scores were 39-37 twice and 38-38

In the middle bout, Avery Sparrow (2-0, 1 KO) scored an explosive 1st round stoppage over Hassan Wasswau of New York in a scheduled 4-round Jr. Lightweight bout.
