HBO Boxing debuts an all-new installment of “2 Days” when the feature segment returns Saturday, May 24 at 11:15 p.m. with a behind-the-scenes look at world junior welterweight title-holder Ruslan Provodnikov, one of boxing’s most fascinating characters.
“2 Days” is a revealing and intimate look at a 48-hour span in the life of a boxer in the lead-up to one of his fights and the next edition will focus on Siberian native Ruslan Provodnikov. HBO cameras followed the intriguing and complex prizefighter in the lead-up to his blockbuster showdown last October with 140-pound title-holder Mike Alvarado in Alvarado’s hometown of Denver, CO.
Provodnikov makes his much anticipated 2014 ring debut on Saturday, June 14 when he defends his 140-pound title vs. Chris Algieri live on HBO from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.
Provodnikov was in attendance for the recent Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Mike Alvarado fight, and has had a close eye on the Pacquiao vs. Bradley situation as well. With a win over Alvarado, and a close defeat to Bradley, Provodnikov could potentially face either man for a second time, or hope that Marquez vs. Pacquiao V doesn’t come off, and he gets one of those two instead.
