The Rumble on the River will be headlined by an eight-round bout between local undefeated lightweight fighter Will Madera of Albany (10-0) and lightweight Gabriel Duluc of Boston, Mass. (11-2).

Boxing fans will be treated to six other fights on the undercard, including the pro debut of local super lightweight Ray Jay Burmudez, of Albany.
