The terrific fans in the Huntington area have been extremely supportive, and all of our shows have sold out.” said DeGuardia. “I strongly urge purchasing tickets in advance for this event.”
The 28-year-old Algieri, 14-0 with seven knockouts, continues to shine in the junior welterweight division and has amped up his training over the last six months, sparring with numerous world champions and highly ranked contenders in Oxnard, California, under the watchful eye of famed trainer Robert Garcia.

The 23-year-old Tovar, sporting a record of 10-5-1 (4KO's), is coming off a unanimous decision win over DeShaun Williams on May 19th in Pharr, Texas. Riding a two bout-winning streak, the Mission, Texas native also knocked out Miguel Pizarro in the second round on October 21st of last year, also in Pharr, Texas.
Continued DeGuardia, “Tovar is a tough fighter from Texas, he's already beaten a couple undefeated prospects and this is another big test for Chris.”
