Tix On Sale For Pawel Wolak-Delvin Rodriguez Clash
On July 15th, Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing presents a highly anticipated ESPN “Friday Night Fights” card at New York City's famed Roseland Ballroom with a sensational main event, featuring exciting former welterweight world title challenger, Delvin Rodriguez (25-5-2, 14KO's) looking to throw himself into the mix of top jr. middleweight contenders when he takes on top rated, Pawel “Raging Bull” Wolak (29-1, 19KO's) in a can't miss, all-action showdown.
“This fight has all the makings to be a fight of the year candidate,” stated Joe DeGuardia, CEO and President of Star Boxing, Rodriguez's promoter. “You have two guys who continuously produce fireworks each and every time they step into the ring, going up against one another in what is arguably the most important fight of their respective careers. These are the type of fights that as a true fight fan you just know you can't miss.”
“I'm excited to get back into the ring and show that I am a force to be reckoned with in the jr. middleweight division,” said Rodriguez. “I have a new team behind me and I feel better than I ever have before. On July 15th, Pawel Wolak and the entire world will see a stronger, faster, and more exciting Delvin Rodriguez.”
“I want to thank Delvin Rodriquez for taking the fight,” stated Wolak. “It is going to be a hard fight with lots of action. I expect Delvin will give me everything he's got and I will be prepared. The fans will get their money worth like they do with every fight of mine. I am looking forward to continuing towards my goal of winning a world title by end of 2011.”
The bout between Rodriguez and Wolak, who is rated as the WBO #3, WBA #6, IBF #8, WBC #11 jr. middleweight in the world, has huge implications for both fighters. Wolak, who is currently riding an eight fight win streak, including his most impressive victory to date in his last bout, when he dominated and made former WBA jr. middleweight champion Yuri Foreman retire on his stool after six rounds, is looking to cash in on his recent success, and earn his shot at a world title. While Rodriguez on the other hand, who has become a fan-favorite, drawing some of the highest ratings on ESPN's “Friday Night Fights” over the years, knows a win over the red-hot Wolak will throw him right into the mix with the top jr. middleweights in the world, and put him back on the path to challenging for another world title.
The Rodriguez-Wolak bout is scheduled for ten rounds and is promoted by Star Boxing in association with Top Rank.
