Chris Algieri: record, next fight and profile →



LAS VEGAS – It’s a boxing tale that’s been written before, and the addition of new actors and an entire country’s attention makes this renewal all the more compelling. Veteran trainer Teddy Atlas said on Monday’s episode of ProBox TV’s “Deep Waters” that Saturday night’s undisputed super-middleweight title defense by Canelo Alvarez against his Mexican countryman Jaime Munguia on Cinco de Mayo weekend is the latest boxing chapter of “The Young Lion versus The Old Lion.”

Now that Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul is a real fight, let the debates begin. Such was the mood on Monday’s episode of ProBox TV’s “Deep Waters,” when former world champions Timothy Bradley Jr., Paulie Malignaggi and Chris Algieri discussed the decision by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to sanction Tyson-Paul as a legitimate pro bout.


It makes a lot of sense for Terence Crawford to move up to 154 pounds to challenge WBA champion Israil Madrimov.


Detractors see recent signs of slippage in Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, but is the timing really right for the "Face of Boxing" and super middleweight king to be dethroned by countryman Jaime Munguia?

Whether or not Oscar De La Hoya’s building up for a U.S. version of the “5 vs. 5” tournament that Eddie Hearn has lined up for June 1 in Saudi Arabia with rival British promoter Frank Warren, the gloves are off because of Hearn taking the lead role in the stacked Aug. 3 card in Los Angeles.

Almost a dozen years ago, Shawn Porter was the co-main event fighter on a Los Angeles Sports Arena card that included these former, current and future world champions: Errol Spence Jr., Joseph Diaz Jr., Deontay Wilder, Leo Santa Cruz and Amir Khan.
