Unbeaten heavyweight Roman Greenberg (17-0, 12 KO's) captures the Broadway spotlight on Friday night, January 28, when he headlines 2005's second installment of DiBella Entertainment's Broadway Boxing Presented by Mohegan Sun at the Grand Ballroom at the Manhattan Center. Greenberg, a native of Tel Aviv, Israel, will go toe-to-toe with Marcus McGee (12-5, 6 KO's), who hails from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in an eight-round heavyweight showdown in the evening's main event. In the co-featured attraction knockout artist Jaidon Codrington (6-0, 6 KO's), fighting out of Queens, will square off against Glen Rayburn (13-3-1, 8 KO's), of Delaware, Ohio, in an eight-round super middleweight contest.

On the undercard, U.S. Olympian and Winter Haven, Florida native Andre Berto (1-0, 1 KO), fresh off a knockout victory in his pro debut, will appear in a four-round junior middleweight bout with Edgar Galvan (1-2-1, 1 KO), of Durango, Mexico. In addition, a youthful pair of talented fighters will be representing the borough of Brooklyn on the card. Rising star Curtis Stevens (4-0, 4 KO's) will see action in a six-round light heavyweight bout, while cruiserweight Sam Elashry (4-3, 1 KO), who originally hails from Cairo, Egypt, looks to gain momentum in a four-round contest.

Queens product Washington Hago will be making his pro debut in a four-round junior lightweight tilt against Michael Mendez (0-1-1), of Orlando, Florida. Staten Island's unbeaten super bantamweight Gary Stark, Jr. (10-0, 5 KO's) takes on Luis Rivera (8-8, 2 KO's), of New Haven, Connecticut, in a six-round affair.
