Newly crowned WBC/IBF junior welterweight champion Devon Alexander “The Great” (20-0, 13KO) of St. Louis, MO, wants the world to know that he is willing to fight WBO junior welterweight champion Tim Bradley (25-0, 11KO) right now. 

The undefeated Alexander captured his first title at the tender age of 22 when he stopped Junior Witter in August of last year. 

“We want the best fights out there, period.  We agree that Devon Alexander and Tim Bradley are the best junior welterweights in the world,” Alexander’s trainer, Kevin Cunningham, recently eloquently stated.  “There is no reason they shouldn’t fight each other.  Tim Bradley is fighting some no name in a tune up for his HBO debut in June.  Team Alexander doesn’t need a tune up.  Tim Bradley can be our tune up.” 

Alexander, who will be returning to the ring in June after recently capturing the IBF version of the title with a devastating 8th round knock out of Juan Urango, would like nothing more if his return was a unification bout against Bradley. 

“Team Alexander is willing to fight anybody.  We want to make the fans happy by fighting the fights they want to see,” Cunningham said in closing.  “We want all the titles.  We are in the belt collecting business.”
