Alexander vs. Bradley at the Silverdome on January 29th
Pontiac, Michigan (December 7, 2010) -- One of the most anticipated fights
in boxing -- and the biggest bout of a young 2011 -- will take place when
undefeated world champions DEVON ALEXANDER "The Great" and TIMOTHY
"Desert Storm" BRADLEY duke it out at the 140-pound weight limit on
Saturday, January 29 at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan.
Boxing fans have been waiting for years to see these two young world champions
collide. The St. Louis phenom Alexander (21-0, 13 KOs), who will put his
unblemished record and World Boxing Council (WBC) super lightweight
championship at risk while Bradley (26-0, 11 KOs), from Palm Springs, Calif.,
enters the bout with a similarly perfect record and his World Boxing
Organization (WBO) junior welterweight crown on the line. Tickets,
priced from $25-$400, will go on sale This Friday! December 10, and can be
purchased at the Silverdome box office, by calling (248) 338-2500 or online at
www.silverdometickets.com. The event is being promoted by Gary Shaw
Productions, Don King Productions and Thompson Boxing Promotions.....more

Bradley
vs Alexander Heading to Detroit, Says Shaw!!!!
You might that think that economically depressed Motown is no town to host
a major boxing event. Evidently, Big Gary Shaw and Don King, the Oddfellas
co-promoters behind the Devon Alexander-Timothy Bradley junior welterweight
unification bout set for Jan. 29, don't share the widespread pessimism about
the Greater Detroit market. Obviously, had a Las Vegas or Atlantic City
casino-hotel stepped forward with an enticing bid, the stimulating matchup
between the undefeated St. Louis boxer and the unbeaten fighter from the Palm
Springs area would have been held within the ring-a-ding sound of slot
machines.

Alexander, age 23, owns a 21-0, 13 knockouts pro record and is known as
"Alexander The Great" while "Desert Storm" Bradley, age
27, is also perfect at 26-0 with 11 KOs to his credit. The WBC and WBO 140
pound belts will be on the line. Instead, Shaw confirmed to me moments ago,
press conferences are being planned for Detroit on Tuesday and New York City
on Wednesday with the site being the Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich. The huge
stadium will be set up for a 15,000 seating capacity....more
