There will be no Brotherly Love when Jessie Magdaleno defends his WBO junior featherweight title against #1 contender Isaac Dogboe on April 28 at The Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.

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.
