It's brilliant to see Devon the Great back. We have all missed his exciting fights. I'm surprised this hasn't made front-page news though? This is massive. The world stands still for this fight. I for one will never forget Alexander vs Bradley. Nash out.

Unless he needs a few quid I don't see the point

Alexander was knocked out by Ivan Redkach in his last fight.

Before that he lost to Andre Berto and had a draw with Victor Ortiz.

I’m so happy he’s coming back.

The break might have done him some good. Devon was a really talented and exciting fighter before he fell off. If he's past his time it will be obvious and time to stop before he suffers long term damage.

I never felt Alexander was that exciting or great. Definitely a good fighter but limited and kinda predictable. Dude gotta earn so im happy for him and hope he takes the W.

aahhh aaahh aaahhh aaahhh

[Combat Talk Radio]

Alexander was stopped by Ivan Redkach

This alone should have disqualified him from a return.


But on a serious note...maybe he's trying to make a statement now, at Arum's request, to prove he's a viable opponent for Crawford. He fits the general profile.

Good lord, all the washed Welters are coming out of the weeds now, aren't they?

[Oldskoolg]

I love how al Haymon gets all of his guys fights no matter what. The traditional promoters cut guys lose and act like they don’t exist any longer.
