Errol Spence Jr-Chris Algieri heading to NBC?
Premier Boxing Champions appears to be returning on NBC in prime time on April 16 with a card that will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York with future rising star Errol Spence Jr., getting his push towards the top of the division.
Errol Spence Jr. (19-0, 16 KOs) will take on his first top 15 level opponent as he faces former world champion Chris Algieri (21-2, 8 KOs).
Spence, a 26-year-old southpaw and 2012 U.S. Olympian has been getting rave reviews from professionals and writers, but has yet to step up to the next level of competition. Algieri on the other hand has spent the last two years only taking hard fights facing Emmanuel Taylor, Ruslan Provodnikov, Manny Pacquiao, Amir Khan and Erick Bone, all of whom are capable foes.
