Paulie Malignaggi To Face Zab Judah In Battle Of Brooklyn On December 7 At Barclays Center!'

Paulie Malignaggi (32-5, 7 KO’s) will be facing Zab Judah (42-8, 29 KO’s) on December 7th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, according to Showtime’s Al Bernstein. On the undercard will be welterweights Keith Thurman vs. Jesus Soto Karass. There’s no word about Amir Khan battling Devon Alexander, so you have to assume that we won’t be seeing that fight any time soon.

Malignaggi is coming off a contentious points defeat toAdrien Broner in June, while Judah also came up short in his last outing - a spirited losing effort against Danny Garcia.

The 32-year-old has revealed that he has taken the fight with the intention of securing local bragging rights, with big bouts the only thing on his mind at this stage of his career.

"Two former world champions and we'll see who is the best Brooklyn fighter of this generation. It's for bragging rights, respect."

American network 'Showtime' will feature the fight as a main event in the first weekend of December on a date originally scheduled for Amir Khan's proposed welterweight showdown with Devon Alexander.
