Last week, BoxingScene.com's Jake Donovan broke the news that WBA world super bantamweight champion Brandon Figueroa will return to the ring against Damien Vazquez later this summer.

Diego Magdaleno has faced challenges inside the ring in recent months, but more so outside of it. Changes in his personal life and a much-needed victory looks like his career is moving in the right direction. Magdaleno began 2020 with a unanimous decision victory over prospect Austin Dulay on February 15 in Nashville, Tennessee. The victory took place over a year after he was brutally stopped by Teofimo Lopez, who would eventually become the IBF lightweight titleholder.

NASHVILLE—Diego Magdaleno always had a plan to pull the crowd from Austin Dulay, one that went well beyond his two-stepping his way into the ring. The former two-time title challenger breathed new life into his career following an upset win on the road, outpointing the local lightweight over 10 rounds. A competitive fight early gave way to a strong surge by Magdaleno, including a 7th round knockdown which gave the Las Vegas-bred southpaw a clear win Saturday evening at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, roughly 30 minutes south of Dulay’s Hendersonville hometown.

NASHVILLE—Diego Magadeleno was “2FUEGO” for Austin Dulay. The former two-time title challenger from Las Vegas returned to the win column the hard way, outworking the local favorite to claim a 10-round decision Saturday evening at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

NASHVILLE—Not that Austin Dulay particularly enjoys a rainy day in Nashville, but there is far greater comfort in watching the inclement weather through his bedroom window than having to fly through it while arriving into town.
