The very anticipated junior welterweight unification between WBC/IBF champion Devon Alexander and WBO king Timothy Bradley - has moved one step closer. Alexander and his manager/trainer Kevin Cunningham reached a deal with their promoter Don King several weeks ago. However, Bradley and his manager Cameron Dunkin were having issues reaching a deal with their promoter, Gary Shaw.
A source with knowledge of the negotiations has indicated that a "major breakthrough" has taken place in the ongoing discussions between Bradley/Dunkin and Shaw. Attorney Michael Miller, representing Bradley and Dunkin, is working on the final details with Shaw's attorney, Leon Margules.
The fight is scheduled to take place on January 29 on HBO.
