Brooklyn’s Jacobs continues comeback
Local middleweight to headline Fox Sports 1 debut boxing card
Danny Jacobs has been in nearly this exact place in his boxing career before.
On the precipice of emerging as one of the bright young stars in the dog-eat-dog world of professional pugilism, Jacobs suffered his only career loss to Dmitry Pirog via a 12th-round knockout in Las Vegas during the summer of 2010.
Three years later, having won his last five fights in a row, including a pair at Downtown’s new home of boxing at the Barclays Center, the 26-year-old Brownsville native and Erasmus High School graduate again stands on the threshold of potential greatness.
