This was something of a breakout year for Conor Benn as he emerged from the worst of the coronavirus lockdown with a busy 2021, and he is hoping to keep up momentum in pursuit of a welterweight title fight in 2022.
He will take on Chris Algieri, a former world champion with previous fights against Manny Pacquiao, Amir Khan, Errol Spence Jr. and others in a career that spans more than a decade.
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.
A win for Benn tonight would take him to 20 fights undefeated.
Also on tonight's card in Liverpool, Katie Taylor defends her undisputed women's lightweight designation against Firuza Sharipova as part of a co=main event from Matchroom Boxing.
