American heavyweight fighter David Rodriguez (36-0, 34 KOs) has ring return pushed back from March 24 to May 4. Last month, on December 29th in Scottsdale, Arizona, Rodriguez was jumped by six men and stabbed as he was leaving a local eatery with a friend. Rodriguez's face was slashed from his ear to his jaw. Rodriguez returned to the gym but doctors advised him not to spar for another six to eight weeks.
