Since the dawn of civilization, combat sports have mirrored the struggle of life itself—mano y mano, one against one. From the ancient coliseums where gladiators fought for glory, to modern arenas where champions are made and legends fall, the boxing ring remains one of the purest stages of human competition. It is here, under the bright lights and the roar of the crowd, that warriors step forward knowing only one will leave victorious. The question is timeless, as old as sport itself: who will win?

(BALTIMORE – August 11, 2025) — Hidden beneath the bustling Belair-Edison Crossing Shopping Center lies one of Baltimore’s most important, yet often forgotten, historical treasures — Laurel Cemetery. From 1852 to 1958, Laurel Cemetery served as Baltimore’s first non-denominational burial ground for African Americans, providing a dignified resting place for thousands across the city’s Black community. Located on Belle Air Avenue (now Belair Road), the cemetery welcomed people from all walks of life — civic leaders, working families, and 230 Black Civil War veterans who served in the United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.).
