Our Guest
Chris Algieri, the Current WBO International Super Lightweight Champion, Former World Boxing Organization (WBO) Jr. Welterweight Boxing Champion, ISKA World Welterweight Kickboxing Champion and WKA World Super Welterweight World Kickboxing Champion, with over 15 years professional fight experience. He has been featured on HBO PPV, HBO Boxing After Dark, NBC Primetime, Showtime EXTREME, PBC on Spike, ESPN Friday Night Fights, and NBC Sports.

Algieri established himself as the ‘Pride of Huntington’, fighting in Long Island, NY just miles from his hometown of Greenlawn at The Paramount Theater in Huntington, NY, selling out the Theater nine consecutive times. He then went on to headline HBO’s Boxing After Dark, where he staged Ring Magazine’s Upset of 2014, defeating Defending Champion Ruslan Provodnikov at the Barclay’s Center. This lead to the biggest fight of his life versus Filipino legend, Manny Pacquioa.  Chris ultimately lost that fight by decision but earned respect in defeat. 

As of September 2021, Chris is a professor in the psychology department of Nova Southeastern University in South Florida.
