Manager/trainer Kevin Cunningham reached out to BoxingScene.com to make the following statement about the upcoming junior welterweight unification between his fighter IBF/WBC champion Devon Alexander and WBO champion Timothy Bradley - "Devon Alexander has done his part to make Alexander versus Bradley a reality. The money offered by his promoter wasn't what he wanted but but Devon stepped up to do his part to make the fight the fans want to see. Now its time for Bradley to step up to the plate."
HBO has been holding January 29th open for the fight. Alexander's promoter Don King and Bradley's promoter Gary Shaw came to an agreement on the license fee being offered by HBO and also to split all revenue 50-50.
Team Bradley has remained quiet in recent weeks and we should have a comment from them soon. Shaw has indicated that his attorney Leon Margules, and Bradley's attorney Michael Miller, are very close to reaching a deal.
