“The Boxing Diva” Renee Aiken is set to make her foray into the boxing promotional business as Diva-Rize-N Promotions opens with a pro card on August 27th at the DC Star Night Club in Washington DC., Headlining the show will be a six round super featherweight contest featuring Capitol Heights, Maryland’s Thomas “KO” Snow (15-1, 9 KOs), who will face off against dangerous Columbian Ever Luis Perez. The undercard is loaded with some of the best fighters the region has to offer.

Thomas Snow enters the ring on a five bout winning streak, since his only defeat to Teon Kennedy back 2009. The thirty year old Snow knows that a victory here is essential if he is to keep his world title hopes on track. Standing in his way is thirty-two fight veteran Ever Luis Perez (12-20, 9 KOs) of Cartagena, Columbia. Perez has tested some of the top contenders and prospects, including former NABA and NABF champion Edner “Cherry Bomb” Cherry, Carlos Ivan Velasquez, Andres Ledesma and Carlos Molina.

Buchanan will face the clubber Ariel “Iron” Espinal (8-19-3, 4 KOs) in a six round contest.
