IBF Welterweight champion Devin Alexander will defend his crown against Shawn Porter on November 30th in San Antonio according to Dan Rafael of espn.com
In the co-feature Super Bantamweight titlist Leo Santa Cruz will fight Cesar Seda.
“I am saying [Alexander-Khan] is not happening and I’m going to be exploring some other opportunities for Amir,” said Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer. “That’s all I am prepared to say and I have nothing to say about Floyd Mayweather.
“But Amir wouldn’t have gone to training camp if it wouldn’t have been to get ready for Devon Alexander. There is no question he was planning on fighting Devon and we were planning on the fight. Now Team Khan and me are exploring some other opportunities. Whether they happen or not, I don’t know.”
“Devon is a pro and when he realized the Khan fight was not going to happen, he was OK. He is the kind of fighter who fights anyone. We have some of the other 147 pounders who were busy with other fights over the next two months, so we can see the winner of Alexander-Porter fighting the winner of some of the other fights.”
“Shawn Porter wanted an opportunity for a big fight and here it is. Let’s see what he can do,” Schaefer said. “This is his chance. I believe in giving fighters opportunities. He has a chance at a world title and I’m sure he will make the best out of it. I think he deserves a shot. I try to give our guys an opportunities to fight for a world title if I can. I can only give him them an opportunity. It’s up to them to capture the moment and show the world what they can do.
