Algieri Ready To Break Cage For Adrien Broner Clash

As previously reported, former WBO junior welterweight champion Chris Algieri (20-1, 8KOs) is gunning for a showdown with Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs).
Algieri told BoxingScene.com that his team has been in discussions for a potential Khan fight in May. But if Algieri is unable to secure Khan, he is also very willing to face former three division champion Adrien Broner (30-1, 22KOs), who plans to return on June 20th in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Both Broner and Algieri gained decision wins over tough Emmanuel Taylor in 2014. Broner has won his last three, with a decision win last month in Las Vegas over John Molina. Algieri was last in the ring in November, going down six times in a twelve round decision loss to Manny Pacquiao.
Now trained by veteran John David Jackson, Algieri feels confident that he'll break the cage by displaying more power in future fights.
"While Khan is the fight I want most right now, as I previously have stated, I love the Broner fight too. I know Khan is unavailable in June and Broner has said he is fighting June 20th. If no Khan - then Broner. I'm good with either. Fighting both this year would be ideal," Algieri said.

We would only fight him at 140, because it moves us 1 step closer to the Titles with Algieri being ranked #5 at 140 by THE RING Magazine.
