Boxing’s back: Barclays officially reveals Oct. 20 fight card
It will be SHOWTIME at the Barclays Center on Oct. 20.
The cable network will televise the first big-time pro boxing event in our borough in half a century on that Saturday night, as a pair of world championships bouts will headline the card, which was officially revealed Wednesday by the soon-to-be-open arena in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn.
Bensonhurst native Paulie Malignaggi, originally expected to be fighting in the main event, will instead be on the undercard, defending his WBA welterweight belt against Mexican contender Pablo Cesar Cano just before WBA, WBC and Ring Magazine Super Lightweight champ Danny Garcia defends his WBC title against Erik Morales.
