By Norm Frauenheim

PHOENIX, AZ — Trevor McCumby takes the second step in a comeback Saturday night at Celebrity Theatre.

The 30-year-old McCumby hopes to pick up where he left off against Rodolfo Ezequiel Martinez on an Iron Boy Promotions card.

In May, McCumby (26-0, 20 KOS) kicked off his comeback, scoring a solid stoppage of Vicente Rodriguez, also at Celebrity. Rodriguez, a super-middleweight from Argentina, was finished in the fifth after McCumby landed a lethal left to the body.

Not much is known about Martinez (44-10-3, 16 KOS), also an Argentine who hasn’tfought in more than two years. Over his 58-fight career, he’s fought at middleweight, super-middle and light-heavy.

McCumby, a Chicago-area native now of Glendale AZ and a light-heavyweight prospect five years ago, is back with plans to fight at super-middleweight.

Twelve fights are scheduled for the Iron Boy card. First bell is scheduled for 6 p.m., Arizona time.
