Unbeaten super middleweight contender Edwin Rodriguez, undefeated former two-division light heavyweight titleholder Zsolt Erdei and ex-beltholder Vic Darchinyan will be part of an HBO-televised triple-header from the MGM Grand at Foxwoods, Lou DiBella Entertainment has announced.

Rodriguez (21-0, 14 knockouts) is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Donovan George in March, and will face hard-hitting Jason Escalera (13-0-1, 12 KO's).

Erdei (33-0, 18 KOs) meets Isaac Chilemba (19-1, 9 KOs), who is coming off a unanimous decision over contender Edison Miranda in February.

Darchinyan (37-5-1, 27 KOs) will try to end a two-bout losing streak opposite featherweight Luis Orlando Del Valle (16-0, 11 KOs).
