Houston’s Jermell Charlo (21-0, 10 KO’s) has stepped up big time in 2013, winning both the WBC Continental Americas and USBA Junior Middleweight Titles with his victories over Harry Joe Yorgey and Demetrius Hopkins, respectively. Now hoping to keep his unbeaten run intact when he battles the upset-minded Rodriguez, the 23-year-old “Iron Man” promises a performance to remember when he competes in front of the nation on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes.

A versatile veteran who has won five of his last six bouts, 34-year-old Jose Angel Rodriguez (17-2-1, 2 KO’s) is coming off of back-to-back victories over Russell Jordan and Denis Douglin that have him in fine stead heading into the biggest fight of his career against Charlo on Oct. 14. And given his southpaw style and experience, “Silver Boy” can certainly make it a tough night for the hot prospect in Florida.

Also added to this six-bout card are Spence Jr.’s Olympic teammate Rau’shee Warren of Cincinnati and undefeated Puerto Rican hot prospect Jeffrey Fontanez. In the previously announced 10 round super weltereight main event, Jermell “Iron Man” Charlo will challenge New York City southpaw Jose Angel “Silver Boy” Rodriguez.

A native of Accra, Ghana now fighting out of Brooklyn, NY, 32- year-old Emmanuel “Ice Cold” Lartey (16-0, 8 KO’s) has drawn positive comparisons to his home country’s greatest boxer, Azumah Nelson, for his style in the ring and remains undefeated in his eight-year professional career. A former Ghanaian and African Boxing Union champion, Lartey’s two most recent bouts have seen him win by decision over fellow prospects Michael Anderson and Jonathan Batista.

The first and only boxer to earn his way onto three U.S. Olympic teams, Rau’shee Warren (15-0, 3 KO’s) is now pursuing a world championship as a professional and he’s off to an impressive start. Winning five bouts in 2013, the 26-year-old from Cincinnati, Ohio was in top form in his most recent effort on Sept. 2, knocking Omar Gonzalez down five times on his way to a six-round unanimous decision victory. On Oct.14, he will face Fresno’s Michael Ruiz Jr. (9-3-1, 3 KO’s) in an eight-round contest.

Twenty -year-old lightweight Jeffrey Fontanez (12-0, 9 KO’s) is the latest prospect to emerge from the island of Puerto Rico and it appears that this Caguas-native has all of the right tools to succeed in the ring. Fontanez also has shown plenty of poise and knockout power in his 2013 wins over veteran competitors Daniel Attah and Alejandro Rodriguez
