Algieri has had a breakout year in 2014, defeating Emmanuel Taylor before upsetting Ruslan Provodnikov in June to win the WBO junior welterweight title. Algieri will have to surrender his title however to fight for Pacquiao welterweight belt, which Pacquiao reacquired in April with a unanimous decision win over Timothy Bradley.
