Devon Alexander “The Great” knows the big knock against him: He’s young and lacks experience. But that’s not going to stop the 22-year-old from putting on a show for the Showtime viewing audience come Saturday night during the first half of a world championship doubleheader.

The undefeated No. 2-rated Alexander (18-0, 11 KOs) of St. Louis will face No. 3 Junior Witter (37-2-2, 22 KOs) of England for the World Boxing Council (WBC) belt that Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley Jr., voluntarily relinquished. More...

Veteran promoter Don King believes that Devon Alexander will become his latest World Champion at the expense of Junior Witter this weekend.

Witter will attempt to regain his old title at the Agua Caliente Casino in California on Saturday night with the vacant WBC Light Welterweight title on the line against the undefeated Alexander.

King has overseen the 22-year-old St. Louis native’s impressive rise up the light welterweight rankings and he believes that Alexander has the potential to become a major star. More...

Gone last night at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, FL were former fly and super flyweight world champion Vic Darchinyan's usual advantages of height, strength and power as the Aussie hard man moved up to bantam to challenge IBF titlist Joseph Agbeko.

Filling the void was the taller, stronger and bigger punching Agbeko, who had refused to be intimidated by Darchinyan's trash talk during the long media campaign leading up to last night's clash.

Agbeko also refused to be moved a single inch by the force of Darchinyan in the ring, handling the southpaw challenger's bull rushes with good footwork and counters, with a solid chin that held firm whenever the overhand lefts and right hooks of Darchinyan connected. More...

Chad Dawson won his rematch last night with Antonio Tarver at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, defending his IBF and IBO light heavyweight belts in the process.

Dawson won nearly ever round against Tarver during their initial clash this past October and while he was never in any trouble last night, the rematch victory wasn't as dominant.

Tarver was more aggressive and threw more punches this time out but once again, Dawson at 26 was just two fast for his 40 year old rival and while he wasn't as busy as Tarver, was far more accurate.

At the end of 12 frames, Dawson swept the cards 117-111 twice and 116-112, improving to 28-0 (17). Tarver drops to 27-6 (19).

Heavyweight prospect Bowie Tupou, 18-0 (14), stopped Chris Koval, 24-6 (18), and featherweight Melissa Hernandez, 10-1-2 (3), posted a six round decision over Jeri Sitzes, 14-9-1 (6).
