On July 30, 2010 , Cestus Management’s 147-pound contender Ashley Theophane headlines a major fight card that will be televised on ESPN’s FNF boxing series. The event will be live from the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami , Oklahoma .

Theophane, who is a veteran of 31 fights, will take on perennial contender Devlin Rodriguez in a bout scheduled for 10 rounds. It is a fight that pits both veterans at the crossroads in their career.

Theophane, who is training at the legendary Gleason’s Gym, said, “I’m training as hard as ever as I completely understand that my time is now and I have to seize this opportunity. I know (Delvin) Rodriguez has heart but his time is up as he’s had his chances.

I’m not going to let my team down (Cestus) and no disrespect to Delvin but I’m going to beat him!”

Mike Michael, who is Cestus’ Chief Advisor, said, “Ashley is looking phenomenal and he is ready and understands what this fight means for his immediate future.

After he was robbed in the Danny Garcia fight, Ashley promised that he was not going to leave any room for doubt and he is determined to prove it against Rodriguez.”

Michael added, “I want to thank ESPN and the Buffalo Run Casino for this great opportunity. I know that the fans are in for a great night of boxing.”
