Former junior welterweight titlist Chris Algieri, loser of his past two fights, will look to rebound when he faces Erick Bone in a scheduled 10-round welterweight bout on Dec. 5 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The fight was formally added Wednesday to the undercard of the secondary middleweight title bout between friendly Brooklyn rivals Daniel Jacobs (30-1, 27 KOs) and "Kid Chocolate" Peter Quillin (32-0-1, 23 KOs).

While Jacobs-Quillin headlines a "Showtime Championship Boxing" card on Showtime, with secondary featherweight titleholder Jesus Cuellar (27-1, 21 KOs) defending against Jonathan Oquendo (26-4, 16 KOs) in the co-feature, it has not yet been determined whether Algieri-Bone will be televised. Showtime is working through the logistics of its schedule.

Algieri (20-2, 8 KOs), from nearby Huntington on New York's Long Island, will be returning to the site of his greatest victory as well as his last loss.

In June 2014, Algieri got knocked down twice and went on to claim a disputed split decision and a junior welterweight world title from Ruslan Provodnikov.

Then Algieri, 31, lost his next two fights. He moved up to welterweight and got knocked down six times in blowout decision to then-titleholder Manny Pacquiao in Macau in November 2014, before returning to Barclays Center on May 29 and losing a unanimous decision to top welterweight contender Amir Khan, a former unified junior welterweight titleholder.

"I am very excited to return to Barclays Center, where I have had some of my best showings," Algieri said. "On Dec. 5, I am looking forward to having my best performance yet."

Bone (16-2, 8 KOs), 26, of Ecuador, is also coming off a loss but one in which he opened a lot of eyes. He took a fight with former welterweight titleholder Shawn Porter on short notice on March 13 and gave a credible performance in a fifth-round knockout loss in his first fight with national television exposure.

"This is a huge fight for me," Bone said. "I know Algieri well, and I know that he is going to bring it. I am fighting a great fighter and after my performance on Dec. 5, the world will know my name."

Russia's Denis Shafikov (36-1-1, 19 KOs) and Miami-based Cuban defector Rances Barthelemy (23-0, 13 KOs), a former junior lightweight titleholder, were scheduled to meet for a vacant lightweight world title on the Dec. 5 undercard. However, Carl Moretti, vice president of Top Rank, which promotes Shafikov, told ESPN.com on Wednesday, that Barthelemy promoter Leon Margules of Warriors Boxing, with whom he made the deal, was going to move the bout to a Premier Boxing Champions card. Moretti said the fight will take place before the end of the year.
