According to his co-promoter Boris Gringberg, Russian heavyweight prospect Magomed Abdusalamov (12-0, 12 KOs) will return on February 3 in Las Vegas. The slated opponent is undefeated Cuban boxer Pedro Rodriguez (8-0, 6 KOs). The main event of the evening will feature an ESPN televised rematch between light heavyweights Edison Miranda and Yordanis Despaigne. If Mago wins his contest, the next ring appearance should take place on March 17th, as part of the Sergio Martinez-Matthew Macklin undercard at New York's Madison Square Garden.
