By Scott Gilfoid: IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (25-0, 14 KO’s) isn’t keen on the idea of fighting former IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) in the Dubai or the UK for obvious reasons. However, that’s not stopping Khan’s promoter Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions in looking to place the Khan-Alexander fight in one of those countries on December 7th.
Schaefer believes he can convince Alexander to agree to fighting in one of those places for the right money. In other words, Alexander, the champion, would be agreeing to fight in front of a large pro-Khan crowd of fans if he says he says yes to Dubai or the UK.
