Conor Benn vs Chris Algieri LIVE: Undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor will shortly take to the ring to face Firuza Sharipova... before 'The Destroyer' looks to take a step towards a world title shot

Conor Benn looks to finish 2021 in style as he squares off against former champion Chris Algieri in an enticing welterweight clash in Liverpool.

The 25-year-old has already seen off Samuel Vargas and Adrian Granados in a highly impressive year, but 'The Destroyer' now has the toughest test of his career to negotiate as he pushes towards a world title shot in 2022.

Also in action is undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor, who, similarly to Benn, is looking to progress to 20-0 as the 35-year-old takes on Firuza Sharipova.
