Conor Benn will look to put the finishing touches on what has been a successful year as he takes on veteran Chris Algieri this weekend. 

'The Destroyer' makes a swift return to the ring, having beaten Adrian Granados via unanimous decision only in September, which came after his emphatic first-round stoppage win over Samuel Vargas back in April. 

The Brit, 25, is eyeing a massive 2022 ahead as he pushes for a world title shot, while the welterweight has already registered an interest in squaring off against either Amir Khan or Kell Brook. 

The pair will finally settle their differences in the ring in February next year, with Benn recently confirming he will be sat ringside. 

However, before Benn can think of a high-profile match-up of his own, he must first get through the challenge of former world champion Algieri, who is in a four-fight win streak. 

Algieri has previously fallen short on three prior occasions, however, against Errol Spence Jr, Khan and Manny Pacquiao. 

With the spectacle swiftly approaching, Sportsmail takes you through everything you need to know.
