The boxing world is moving fast and today’s episode of BoxingScene Today is STACKED with breaking news, exclusive insight, and the biggest stories in the sport and Chris Algieri and Coach Robert Garcia are there to break them down on BoxingScene Today.
The two hosts start with a discussion of four-weight champion and current WBO junior welterweight boss Shakur Stevenson signing with Zuffa Boxing and then go over what it means for one of boxing’s biggest stars and how it could reshape the future of the sport.
They then transition to whether or not the reported Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn superfight announcement will happen.

Algieri and Garcia then talk about Lindolfo Delgado landing a fight with Canada’s Artur Biyarslanov for the vacant IBF light welterweight world championship, reportedly in late October in Saudi Arabia. Can the unbeaten contender take the next step and become a world champion?
