Undefeated rising star Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. (20-0, 17 KOs) is set to take on once-beaten contender Leonard “The Lion” Bundu (33-1-2, 12 KOs) in a 12-round welterweight world title eliminator that headlines on NBC Sunday, August 21 from Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk in Brooklyn. It will be the second consecutive fight in Brooklyn for the Dallas-based Spence. The action on NBC airs following coverage of the Olympic Men’s Basketball Gold Medal Game. The 2012 U.S. Olympian Spence Jr. will look to move one step closer to becoming the second member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic boxing team to win a world title after Rau’shee Warren won a bantamweight championship in June.
Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and presented by Brooklyn Boxing, start at $35. Presale tickets are available now with public on-sale beginning tomorrow at 10 a.m.
