In all my fights I bring excitement, speed and skill and can guarantee more fireworks on Maj 29 at Barclays Center.”

“I am very excited to get back into the ring and to be fighting here in New York,” Said Algieri. “Fighting at Barclays Center, where I won my world title just under a year ago, is an added bonus.
