Super middleweights John Magda and Christopher Brooker will square off on February 19, Gordon Hall told krikya360.com Thursday afternoon.
Hall is the Senior Vice President of Production at Showtime.
Magda-Brooker will take place at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. The eight-round bout will round out the four-bout ‘ShoBox: The New Generation’ telecast on Showtime.
The Magda-Brooker clash was added to the broadcast when the eight round bout between Keenan Smith and Wellington Romero fell through. Smith pulled out of the fight due to an injury sustained during training camp.
Magda (11-0, 7 KOs) has not fought since June 20, when he scored a decision win over former contender Dionisio Miranda in Valley Forge, Penn.
Brooker (7-1, 5 KOs) was victorious in his last bout on December 29, a one-sided eight round decision over Leo Hall in Bethlehem, Penn. He has won his last four bouts in a row.
In the main event, Adam Lopez (14-0, 7 KOs) and Mario Munguia (16-0-1 1 NC, 10 KOs) square off in a battle of unbeaten junior featherweights.
