“I’m here to tell you,” said Lamont Roach, “NoXcuse Promotions, brought to you by my dad, and ProBox TV, are back with another great night of action-packed fights, headlined by Jordan White, with a supporting cast of DMV’s hottest stars, not to mention my little brother, y’all better beat me there, because I’m gonna be there, if you can’t make it, watch it on ProBox TV. We’re gonna have a blast.”

Roach, of course, is coming off a disputed draw with lightweight star Gervonta Davis last month and is hoping to secure a rematch soon, but in the meantime he will be supporting his family and gymmates at the Casino Hotel in Hanover, Maryland on Saturday, April 12.

Junior lightweight contender Jordan “Shortdog” White is 18-1 (12 KOs), who fights out of Washington DC, and he meets the 29-3 (10 KOs) Argentine Jose Matias Romero, who has won three in a row since a 2022 loss to classy Cuban Robeisy Ramirez.

White had two outings in 2024, stopping Jonathan Oquendo-Arnaldi in a round and then outscoring Jason Sanchez over 10 rounds.

Heavyweight contender Stephan Shaw is 20-2 and has stopped 15 of his victims. The 32-year-old, from St Louis, Missouri, was narrowly outscored by Efe Ajagba in 2023, and now Ajagba has an eliminator for the IBF heavyweight title against Martin Bakole next month. Shaw, coming off two first-round knockout wins, is in against Florida-based Nigerian Raphael Alpejiori, who is 18-1 with a formidable 17 knockouts. He returned from his lone loss in 2023 to win three times in 2024 and now meets the heavy-hitting Shaw in a pivotal and potentially explosive clash.

A third-scheduled 10-rounder on the show pits New Haven, Connecticut’s William Foster III against fellow junior lightweight contender Brandon Leon Benitez. Foster, “The Silent Assassin”, is 18-2 (11 KOs) and won two of his three fights in 2024 while Mexico’s former featherweight Benitez, 21-3 (9 KOs), is coming in off a defeat to Robeisy Ramirez last June.

There is a host of local talent on the show, too, with 9-0 (6 KOs) welterweight David Whitmire, 3-0 (1 KO) super-flyweight Jordan Roach, 3-0 (3 KOs) welterweight Ben Johnson, and 9-0 (7 KOs) junior lightweight Francois Scarboro Jnr.
