SiriusXM will air a live broadcast of the Premier Boxing Champions event this Friday, May 29 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Coverage begins at 9:00 pm ET and airs on SiriusXM Sports Zone, available on channel 92 on satellite radios and on the SiriusXM app.
Friday’s event features British welterweight champion Amir Khan (30-3, 19 KOs), whose lightning fast hands have enthralled fans on both sides of the Atlantic, defending his title against Long Island-native Chris Algieri (20-1, 8 KOs), who is looking to bounce back from his first career loss last year to Manny Pacquiao.
The opening fight of the broadcast is a showdown for the world super featherweight championship, as unbeaten Javier Fortuna (27-0-1, 20 KOs), of the Dominican Republic, faces off against Costa Rica’s Bryan Vasquez (34-1, 18 KOs).
The PBC on SiriusXM broadcast team for the event will be former New York Athletic Commission Chairman and former Editor-in-Chief of The Ring Magazine Randy Gordon as the blow-by-blow voice and former heavyweight contender Gerry Cooney as the analyst.
SiriusXM began broadcasting Premier Boxing Champions fights in April and will air several PBC events in 2015. Introduced in January of this year, Premier Boxing Champions is a new series – created by Haymon Boxing – that features many of boxing’s best and brightest stars and champions.
