Olympians headline Premier Boxing Champions on Saturday
In 2012, the U.S. men’s boxing team failed to bring home a medal for the first time in Olympic history. The fighters from that team have been on a professional tear since.
Olympians Errol Spence (19-0, 16 KOs) and Marcus Browne (17-0, 13 KOs) are on the Premier Boxing Champions card at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC and NBC Sports Live Extra.
Spence, 26, lost in the 2012 Olympic quarterfinals, the best result for a U.S. men’s boxer in London.
He’s undefeated as a pro and headlines Saturday night’s card against former junior welterweight champion Chris Algieri.
