Vicente to step in and fight Rodriguez on ESPN FNF

According to Dan Rafael of espn.com. Yenifel Vicente will fight Jose Angel Rodriguez this Friday night on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights.

Rodriguez was originally supposed to fight 130-pound contender Arash Usmanee in the 10-round main event at the Emerald Queen Hotel & Casino in Tacoma, Wash. However, Usmanee suffered an ankle injury and withdrew from the fight on Sunday, leaving promoter Greg Cohen and the network scrambling for a replacement opponent.
