Alexander vs. Purdy Now Set For May 18th Showdown - Boxing News
Signed done deal. Purdy is the IBF's #4 contender and has been approved as an opponent. Kell Brook keeps his mandatory position too. Devon should stop Purdy. He is solid but is just not on this level. Good work by Hearn to secure the opportunity for him though, I'm sure this will be Purdy's best payday and he has nothing to lose.
The outcome should be the same. Alexander by knock out

This is a real surprise.fair play to purdy taking the fight and also eddie Hearn for making it.not giving purdy much ov a chance but stranger things have happened.am no a huge fan ov Alexander but he should Easley outbox purdy.
Hopefully Purdy will fair so badly that Alexander takes all Brits lightly, then Brook KOs him....
That is unlikely but possible.

It is a fractured foot, it is legitimate. Brook is not a David Haye. :)Quote:

Alexander is very Lucky. Brook would have been all wrong for him. Gutted. Perhaps Purdy should learn some Judo moves before Devon damn near suffocates him with his impression of an Octopus.
I think he has a good chance. Purdy is a good fighter. It wont be easy for DevonQuote:

Every time I see Purdy I think he looks scared, even in the pressers.
I think he'll look courageous, but lose convincingly. Hopefully though he can at least exposé some floors in Devon that Brook can spot. I doubt it though, Purdy isn't at that level. Great domestic and EU fighter though, one of our best.
