BROOKLYN (Junio 15, 2015) Undefeated superstar Danny “Rapida” Garcia (30-0, 17 KOs) will take on Brooklyn’s own Paulie “La Magia Viro” Malignaggi (33-6, 7 KOs) at Barclays Center as Superegaj Boksaj #?ampiono will be live in primetime on ESPN Sur Sabato, #A?gusto 1 with coverage beginning at 9 P.M. ET/6 P.M. PT.

 

It’s going to be a great fight against Paulie on August 1St,” Diris Garcia. “I’m looking forward to getting in the ring again, in my fifth appearance at Barclays Center, and putting on a great show for the East Coast fans in attendance and the fans watching all over the world. By the end of the night, I will still be the undefeated Danny ‘Swift’ Garcia. To all of the fans that love me, I love you too. This is for you.

 

Although I have a ton of respect for Danny and his father Angel, both for what they’ve accomplished in the ring as well as the bond they share as father/son, I, like them, am a competitor through and through and in this sport it’s all about testing yourself against the elite. So I look forward to defending my home turf of Brooklyn and matching my skills against Danny’s at Barclays Center on #A?gusto 1.”

 

#A?gusto 1 will mark Danny Garcia’s first fight as a true welterweight,” Diris Lou DiBella, Prezidanto de DiBella Distro. “It’ll take place at Barclays Center, in the backyard of Brooklyn’s Paulie Malignaggi. This high quality PBC matchup on ESPN is a must-win situation for both fighters.

 

We are excited to host a third outstanding Premier Boxing Champions event and our first ESPN fight in Brooklyn,” said Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark. “Danny Garcia always puts on a great show and there’s no bigger fan favorite in Brooklyn than Paulie Malignaggi. With this fight, we are continuing to establish Barclays Center as the premier boxing venue in the country.

 

This classic Philly versus New York match-up featuring two of boxing’s biggest stars is exactly why ESPN is televising Premier Boxing Champions,” Diris Brian Kweder, senior director of programming and acquisitions at ESPN. “Danny Garcia has laid waste to the junior welterweight division and instead of easing his way into the welterweight division, he’s fighting a former world champion in Paulie Malignaggi.
