BoxingScene.com has been advised that former two division world champion Devon Alexander (26-3, 14KOs) will return on October 14th against Aaron Martinez (19-4-1, 4KOs) on October 14th as part of a special edition of edition of Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN.
Alexander has been out of the ring since suffering a twelve round decision loss to Amir Khan last December at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. He will aim to make a statement here after going 2-2 in his last four fights.
Martinez has dropped three of his last four. In June he came very close to stunning Robert Guerrero in a highly competitive fight and some observers at ringside scored the fight in his favor. He dropped Guerrero and him hurt in the fourth round. They traded punches until the tenth and final bell with Guerrero walking away with a split decision victory.
