Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer advised BoxingScene.com that his planned doubleheader for May 18th is slowly coming together. As part of the card, Lamont Peterson (31-1-1, 16KOs) would defend his IBF crown against the very dangerous Lucas Matthysse (33-2, 31KOs) of Argentina. And the other half of the puzzle would see the rescheduled welterweight collision between IBF champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13KOs) and undefeated mandatory challenger Kell Brook (29-0, 19KOs). The Alexander-Brook has already been postponed twice due to injuries. Brook injured his ankle and withdrew from a planned January 19th date, and then Alexander hurt his right bicep and pulled out from the rescheduled date of February 23rd.

Trainer Kevin Cunningham has admitted Devon Alexander was interested in facing Floyd Mayweather instead of Kell Brook. Brook was due to challenge Alexander for his IBF welterweight title this Saturday, but the fight was postponed for a second time after the American suffered a strained bicep in training. The Sheffield man initially pulled out through injury and further doubts were cast over the bout when Floyd Mayweather suggested on Twitter that he was willing to fight Alexander next. Mayweather has since announced a clash with Robert Guerrero for the WBC welterweight belt and Alexander insists he will still defend his title against Brook, but his trainer Cunningham has revealed he was tempted to abandon these plans. "We have no control over what Floyd says or does, but you know if a Mayweather opportunity comes about we're definitely interested in it," he told Ringside Toe 2 Toe podcast. "It's funny that Floyd would come out and say that. Maybe

Kell Brook admits he is still in limbo after Devon Alexander pulled out of their title fight on February 23 with an arm injury. The champion is likely to require up to six weeks off before preparing for a fight, providing the injury is genuine. That was put into doubt when Floyd Mayweather tweeted that Alexander was favourite to fight him on May 4. However, the consensus is that Mayweather's comment was a red herring and that Alexander will be forced to fight Brook by the IBF as his mandatory challenger. For the time being, a devastated Brook is trying to stay focused on training.

Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, told BoxingScene.com on Friday morning said that he is just waiting on Floyd Mayweather Jr. to announce his opponent for May 4. "Based on my involvement, based on my history with Floyd, based on negotiations that have taken place in the last few months, I know who it's going to be, but I'm not going to talk about it," said Schaefer, who has promoted Mayweather's past several fights. Perhaps unknowingly, Schaefer might have given a hint as to which fighter will be standing across from Mayweather when the bell rings for the main event at MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Cinco De Mayo weekend.
