Conor Benn vs. Chris Algieri: Date, fight time, TV channel and live stream
Conor Benn looks to conclude a busy 2021 with another victory, and one that could help make 2022 the year he challenges for major honours at welterweight.
Benn faces former world champion, Chris Algieri, who has taken on the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Errol Spence Jr., Amir Khan and more in his 13-year professional tenure thus far. Victory for 'The Destroyer' would make him 3-for-3 in the calendar year, and 20-0 overall as a pro.
Also on the weekend card in Liverpool, Katie Taylor defends her undisputed women's lightweight crown against Firuza Sharipova as part of a double main event from Matchroom Boxing.
