BRIEF: Danny Garcia to fight Robert Guerrero on Jan. 23 at Staples Center

Nov. 24--Former world champion Danny Garcia will fight former two-division world champion Robert Guerrero on Jan. 23 at Staples Center in the "Premier Boxing Champions on Fox" card.

Garcia (31-0, 18 knockouts) vacated his light-welterweight belt this year before defeating former welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi with a ninth-round technical knockout in August.

Guerrero (33-3-1, 18 KOs), from Gilroy, Calif., participated in the PBC main event on NBC in March, losing to unbeaten Keith Thurman, and beating Aron Martinez by split-decision in June at StubHub Center.

Fox, which will broadcast three PBC fights in prime time through June as part of a multifight deal with manager Al Haymon's organization, will also televise the fight on Fox Deportes at 5 p.m. PST. Tickets, ranging from $25 to $300, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday on axs.com and at the Staples Center box office.

Guerrero, who lost a unanimous decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2013, previously claimed featherweight and super-featherweight belts and boasts victories over Andre Berto and Joel Casamayor.

Garcia, from Philadelphia, has defeated Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Erik Morales twice, Zab Judah and Lamont Peterson since 2012.
