If HBO puts the right number on the table, promoter Gary Shaw tells BoxingScene.com that we could very well see a junior welterweight unification between champions Timothy Bradley and Devon Alexander in early 2011. There could be a chance for Bradley-Alexander to take place at the end of the year, but not likely. HBO would have a lot more wiggle room in their budget in early 2011.
Bradley, the WBO champion, makes his welterweight debut on July 17 against Carlos Abregu. Alexander defends his WBC/IBF titles against Andriy Kotelnik on August 7.
"Ive been talking with [HBO], maybe we'll fight Devon Alexander next," Shaw said to BoxingScene.com
"We'll fight [Andre] Berto. We'll fight [Amir] Khan. We'll fight them all, but Timmy wants to prove himself at junior welterweight. And he's gone on record saying that until he fights all of the 140-pounders, he doesn't consider himself the best in the world...I do [consider him the best in the world]."
