Conor Benn in training ahead of his fight against Chris Algieri
Conor Benn puts his undefeated record and WBA Continental welterweight title on the line on Saturday night, as he takes on Chris Algieri at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool.
Benn, 25, is seeking to make it three wins from three this year, having stopped Samuel Vargas in April before outpointing Adrian Granados in September.
Those victories took the Briton’s record to 19-0 (12 knockouts), while his American opponent this weekend is on a four-fight win streak.
Algieri (25-3, 9 KOs) is a former WBO junior welterweight champion, who returned to the ring in August after two years out. The 37-year-old beat Mikkel LesPierre in his most recent contest, and he faces an intriguing challenge as he takes on Benn, son of former two-division world champion Nigel Benn.
