RODRIGUEZ RETURNS TO FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS AGAINST THEOPHANE FRIDAY JULY 30TH IN OKLAHOMA

DELVIN RODRIGUEZ

Next Friday Delvin Rodriguez (25-4-2, 14KO’s) returns to ESPN’s “Friday Night Fights” when he takes on Ashley Theophane (26-4-1, 7KO’s) in the main event bout of the evening at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Oklahoma. Rodriguez-Theophane is scheduled for ten rounds in the welterweight division.

“We are happy and looking forward to bringing such a high profile card, featuring one of top welterweights in the world in Delvin Rodriguez to the beautiful Buffalo Run Casino,” stated Joe DeGuardia, CEO and President of Star Boxing. “The Casino is one of the most dynamic in Oklahoma, and given Delvin’s past history on ESPN, in which he has produced some of the most exciting and memorable fights and knockouts in the network’s history, we are very much looking forward to showcasing him there come July 30th.”

The former world title challenger Rodriguez; the current USBA welterweight champion, and number three ranked welterweight in the world in the IBF world ratings; is coming off a dominate twelve round unanimous decision this past April over fellow former world title challenger, Mike Arnaoutis. A title shot for Rodriguez is looming and an impressive showing against Theophane should get him one step closer.

Theopane is coming off a win over Harasch Hotaki for the vacant IBO International welterweight title in June, and before that a hard fought, debatable split decision loss to highly regarded undefeated jr. welterweight contender, Danny Garcia (17-0, 11KO’s).

The show is promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing in association with Warriors Boxing. ESPN will begin live coverage at 9PM ET.
