Darmani Rock Faces Julio Rodriguez In Return To Hometown of Philly

October 3, 2018 – Heavyweight boxer Darmani Rock (12-0, 7 KOs) will headline the main event card this Saturday and fight Miami native Pedro Julio Rodriguez (23-5, 19 KOs) at the 2300 Arena & Bar in Philadelphia.

The fight also signifies a momentous milestone for Rock, considering it will mark his first career, eight-round bout. The Philadelphia native will have the opportunity to showcase his stamina in front of his hometown supporters.
