WBO junior welterweight champion Tim Bradley has officially signed his fight contract to face WBC/IBF champ Devon Alexander in a unification bout on January 29. The fight will be televised by HBO. However, Alexander is expected to lose his IBF title before the unification takes place. The sanctioning body has ordered him to face the mandatory challenger, Kaizer Mabuza, by December 28.
"Devon, you have gotten your wish. I've signed the contract. So the fight is on," Bradley said.
The signing ends a back and forth struggle on the contract terms between Bradley and his promoter, Gary Shaw. Bradley (26-0, 11KOs) has been waiting to his hand on Alexander (21-0, 13KOs) for some time.
"Devon Alexander and his camp have been doing a lot of talking, and the fight has been a big buzz in the boxing community and in the media," said Bradley. "And, you know, now we're going to see who is truly the best in the world in the 140-pound division. So on Jan. 29, I'm going to be very excited."
