Spadafora, 31, resumes his career after spending 75 days over the past summer in protective custody for parole violation accusations that were ultimately rescinded. A variety of nagging physical ailments, including an inner ear infection and a training camp knee injury, further postponed his return to the ring. In his last bout, he won a ten-round junior welterweight decision over rugged Irish champion Osin Fagan in March 2007. Spadafora will fight in a ten-round welterweight bout. Tickets ($60, $40 and $20) go on sale Monday.
