Welterweight contender Errol Spence Jr., who is one win from a shot at a world title, can earn it in his next fight.Spence, the 2015 ESPN.com prospect of the year and a 2012 U.S. Olympian, will face Italys Leonard Bundu in a world title eliminator on Aug. 21 at the new Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk in Brooklyn, New York.The Premier Boxing Champions bout, made official Tuesday, will air as a Sunday afternoon special on NBC immediately after the networks coverage of the gold-medal game in Olympic mens basketball.The Spence-Budu winner will earn a mandatory world title bout against Englands Kell Brook, who first will challenge unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin on Sept. 10. Win or lose that bout, Brook will still have his welterweight belt, but theres a chance he will relinquish it regardless of the outcome, leaving the Spence-Budu winner to compete for a possible vacant title.This is another great opportunity for me to gain exposure on NBC, Spence said. A lot of people will be watching because of the Olympics that may not have known my name before. As an Olympian, headlining a major event four years after my Olympic run is exciting.Spence is aiming to become the second member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic boxing team to win a world title after Raushee Warren won a bantamweight belt on June 18.Spence will be the heavy favorite against former European welterweight champion Bundu, 41, of Italy, who has won two fights in a row against lesser opponents since losing a shutout decision to Keith Thurman in an interim world title bout in December 2014 in Las Vegas.Bundu is an older fighter, but hes tough and has a lot of experience, Spence said. He fought well against Keith Thurman. Thurman outboxed him but couldnt knock him out. I think I can make a big statement in the division if I can stop him, as I did with Chris Algieri.The 26-year-old Spence (20-0, 17 KOs), of Dallas suburb DeSoto, Texas, turned in a sensational performance on April 16 when he blitzed former junior welterweight titlist Algieri in a fifth-round knockout on NBC in prime time at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.Bundu (33-1-2, 12 KOs) said he believes his experience will carry the day against an opponent 15 years younger than he is.I am going to use my experience to my advantage on Aug. 21, Bundu said. When I fought Thurman, I ended up being overcautious, but that will not be the case this time. I know its now or never for me, and I wont let this chance slip away. Spence will come forward, but that will work to my advantage because I love fighting on the inside. Im going to show Spence a few things that he hasnt seen before.The fight will be the first at the Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk, a 5,000-seat covered open-air venue that opened earlier this month.It is exciting to have rising star Errol Spence headlining the [venues] inaugural boxing event, promoter Lou DiBella said. Spence is one of the most gifted young fighters in all of boxing and is on track to be a world champion. MLB Jerseys From China . It was just business as usual for the Thunder at home.

HOUSTON -- Despite their injury-ravaged pitching staff suffering another blow this week, the Los Angeles Angels continue to build on the momentum they established prior to the All-Star Game break when they won five times during a 10-game swing through Tampa, Boston and Baltimore.Having lost right-hander Garrett Richards and left-hander Andrew Heaney to torn ulnar collateral ligaments earlier this season, the Angels discovered that right-hander Nick Tropeano suffered the same injury on July 18 and will likely require season-ending Tommy John surgery.Yet despite these tribulations, the Angels (43-52) have won 10 of 12 games and completed a 6-0 homestand with a 7-4 win over the Rangers on Wednesday night. After surrendering just one run in a three-game sweep of the White Sox, the Angles used their offense to bludgeon Texas, earning a second consecutive sweep despite allowing 15 runs.I think were getting contributions from a lot of guys, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of his offense. Our lineup is getting deeper. I think were running the bases better. Our situational hitting has been good. Our on-base percentage over the last month has been terrific.So were getting opportunities, were feeding the guys in the middle (of the lineup). Albert (Pujols) is swinging the bat better (and) getting his RBI shots. Mike (Trout) is doing what he does. I think on the offensive side were doing the things we anticipated doing.The Angels will open a three-game series at Minute Maid Park on Friday night against the Astros, against whom they have dropped eight consecutive games. The good news is that the reigning American League Player of the Week, right-hander Matt Shoemaker, will be on the bump.Shoemaker (5-9, 4.08 ERA) is comingg off his first career shutout, a brilliant 1-0 win over the White Sox in which he registered a career-high 13 strikeouts against six hits and zero walks.dddddddddddd Shoemaker has pitched effectively against the Astros this season, going 1-1 with a 2.08 ERA in three starts, recording 24 strikeouts against 20 hits in 21 1/3 innings.The Astros (51-44) will counter with right-hander Lance McCullers (4-4, 3.61 ERA). McCullers has faced the Angels once this season, allowing one run on six hits and three walks with six strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings while not factoring in the decision of a 3-2 victory on June 22. McCullers is 1-1 with a 2.35 ERA in five career starts against the Angels.The Astros capped a 3-3 road trip with a 7-0 win over the Athletics on Wednesday. Shortstop Carlos Correa finished with three walks and three RBI in the victory, continuing his resurgent productivity since claiming the cleanup spot in the batting order.Over the 29 games since he began batting fourth, Correa owns a slash line of .296/.400/.574 with six home runs and 30 RBI. Correa had more than twice as many strikeouts (68) as walks (31) before the move but has almost evened his ratio since with 21 strikeouts against 18 walks.Hitting behind All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve, who is batting .500/.537/.750 against the Angels in 2016, has benefitted Correa.He was very disciplined in some RBI opportunities, which is good to see, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said of Correa to MLB.com. Obviously, behind Altuve, we want him to be really, really productive because theres a lot times guys arent going to pitch to him. ' ' '
