Abner Mares, the undefeated bantamweight contender from Montebello, Calif., will face Carlos Fulgencio of the Dominican Republic in the eight-round main event of Fight Night Club on Aug. 27 at Club Nokia in Los Angeles.
Fulgencio (11-2-1, 7 knockouts) has won consistently but has never fought outside his country and is 2-2 in last four bouts. He has fought primarily at super bantamweight.
If Mares (18-0, 11 KOs) wins, Golden Boy Promotions, his promotional firm, plans to have him fight on the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Juan Manuel Marquez pay-per-view card on Sept. 19 in Las Vegas.
Mares was out of action for a year because of a serious eye injury but won his first fight back, stopping Jonathan Perez in May. He is rated No. 7 by THE RING and ranked in the Top 10 in three of the four major sanctioning bodies.
Meanwhile, David Rodela (13-1-2, 6 KOs) will face Las Vegas-based Puerto Rican Gamalier Rodriguez in a six-round junior lightweight bout.
Rodriguez (8-1-2, 4 KOs) has lost only to then-unbeaten Juan Garcia, who lost a close decision to Rodela on the first Fight Night Club card.
