The Magdaleno-Dogboe fight will headline a card with plenty of local flavor, as Philly heavyweights Bryant “By-By” Jennings and Joey Dawejko rekindle an old rivalry, and Philadelphia native Jesse “Hollywood” Hart continues his drive back to a world title challenge when he faces Demond Nicholson in a super middleweight bout.

Appearing on the undercard will be 2016 U.S. Olympic silver medalist Shakur Stevenson (5-0, 2 KOs) of Newark, N.J., in an eight-round featherweight bout against Roxberg Riley (12-0, 6 KOs) of Dallas, Ga.

Magdaleno-Dogboe, Jennings-Dawejko and Hart-Nicholson will be televised LIVE on ESPN and stream in English and Spanish on the ESPN App at 7 p.m. ET. Undercard bouts will stream on the ESPN App beginning at 4 p.m. ET. ESPN Deportes will air the fight at 10 p.m. ET.
