In the co-featured bout, cruiserweight contender Dmytro Kucher will fight veteran journeyman Galen Brown in an eight-round bout.

Kucher (21-1, 15 KOs) has not fought since July 13 of last year when he lost a 12-round majority decision to fellow contender Ilunga Makabu.

Brown (42-28-1, 25 KOs) was stopped in the second round by Phil Williams in his last fight on Aug. 22.

Three more bouts round out the card.

Last fight for Rodela?

David Rodela will fight unbeaten 2012 U.S. Olympian Jose Ramirez on Saturday night at Selland Arena in Fresno, Calif.

Rodela, who resides in Oxnard, California, and has sparred with the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton, may be fighting for the final time. He told RingTV.com in a recent interview that he is going for broke against Ramirez, believing he has what it takes to defeat the young prospect.

In recent years, Rodela worked for the city of Oxnard’s Police Activities League (PAL), where he served as a boxing coach. He recently secured a job at Baxter, a health care company in nearby Thousand Oaks. Wednesday was Rodela’s last day working for the city of Oxnard.

Rodela (17-9-3, 7 KOs) was victorious in his last bout on July 11, winning an eight-round unanimous decision over Tyrell Samuel in Oxnard.

Ramiez (11-0, 8 KOs) will be fighting near his hometown of Avenal. The card is promoted by Top Rank.
