BoxingScene.com has been advised that undefeated heavyweight contender David Rodriguez (36-0, 34KOs) is going to sign a promotional agreement with Main Events. Rodriguez, 36-years-old, has been inactive since December 2011. Rodriguez was viciously attacked on December 30, 2011 in Arizona, where his face was badly slashed. Rodriguez lost three pints of blood and had 369 stitches inside and out.

Once he was able to recover, he injured his knee in training camp for a planned July 2012 return. The injury required surgery and forced him to sit for several months.

Main Events has several heavweights under their banner, including Tomasz Adamek and Vyacheslav Glazkov. Rodriguez is advised by Luis DeCubas Jr.
