Brooklyn born Shannon Briggs will return to his roots on March 10 when he makes his first WBO heavyweight title defense against Sultan Ibragimov at The Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The HBO main event was officially announced Wednesday afternoon to a standing room only crowd at the Firebird restaurant in mid-town. It will be the first defense of the belt Briggs won in November when he knocked out Sergei Liakhovich in the final second of the final round of the fight.
