Rick Hawkins of Pro-Motion Sports and his matchmaker, Scott Farmer, are getting closer to filling out the card for the event that is coming to the Salem Civic Center on Aug. 9.

For now they have a co-main event featuring Andrew Farmer of Front Royal and Jaywon Woods of Danville.

Farmer (10-1) will fight Rod Salka of (6-0) of Bunola, Pa., in a scheduled eight-rounder at light welterweight. Woods (7-0) will fight Terry Roy (7-0) of Front Royal in a scheduled six-rounder at cruiserweight. Woods is 22 and Roy is 35 and a southpaw.

In another light welterweight bout, Roanoker David Hopkins will make his pro debut against Randolph Scott (0-1) of Salisbury, Md.

The other match that is set is Roanoker David Novia (0-1) vs. Dontre King (0-1) of Cumberland, Md.

Roanoke light middleweight Charles Norwood (3-3) and Bassett heavyweight James Price (2-0) do not yet have matches.

John Mackey, who defeated Norwood, was originally on the card and Hawkins said they were going to have him fight a rematch with Joshua Snyder, who recently beat Mackey. But Hawkins said their managers decided they wanted at least six months before the rematch because their first fight was such a brawl. That fight was seen on ESPN.

Hawkins said he'd like to add another main event and possibly have as many as eight fights.
