LOS ANGELES (Jan. 19) - The 50th birthday celebration for future Hall of Famer Bernard "The Alien" Hopkins will have even more fireworks with the addition of Philadelphia favorites Raymond "Tito" Serrano and Avery Sparrow, plus several other exciting undercard bouts featuring East Coast talent on Golden Boy Live! at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia on Tuesday, January 20, airing on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes. In a six-round welterweight bout between Pennsylvanian fighters, Philadelphia's Raymond "Tito" Serrano (19-2, 9 KOs) takes on Allentown's Jerome Rodriguez (6-1-3, 2 KOs).

A four-round swing bout will see local Philadelphia favorite Avery Sparrow (3-0, 1 KO) meet up with Pennsauken, N.J.'s Pedro Andres (1-1). The 21-year-old Sparrow is a former amateur standout coming off a four-round win over Jesus Lule on November 25. Manassas, Va's Robert Sweeney (3-1) will kick off his 2015 year with a six-round junior middleweight bout against Camden, N.J.'s Gilbert Alex Sanchez (4-6-1, 2 KOs), and in the four-round junior lightweight opener, Pennsauken, N.J.'s Carlos Rosario (1-1) squares off with Snow Hill, N.C's Timothy McNair (0-2).
