Premier Boxing Champions
NBCSports.com launched its Premier Boxing Champions page for comprehensive boxing coverage ahead of PBC on NBC’s primetime debut on Saturday, March 7. NBCSports.com/PBConNBC includes boxing articles and videos, a link to the full boxing schedule, and interactive “fight cards” that display boxer attributes.

In addition, Joe Posnanski will write two pieces on NBC SportsWorld leading up to the fight next week. The first features interviews with several prominent fighters and legends of the sport about where boxing is, where it’s been and where it’s headed.

Posnanski will also profile one of boxing’s fastest rising stars, Keith Thurman, who fights Robert Guerrero in the debut of PBC on NBC. Thurman, who can be described as half philosopher, half knockout artist, carries with him the memory of Ben Getty, the late trainer who taught him how to box while working as the janitor at his elementary school.
