Former two-time world title challenger Willie Monroe Jr. has thrown his hat in the ring for a potential showdown with four-division champion Canelo Alvarez that would take place in September.
Middleweight Ivan Redkach (23-4-1,18 KO) made a statement as he knocked down former world champion Devon Alexander not one, not two, but three times in the sixth round of a scheduled 10-round bout, forcing referee Thomas Taylor to wave off the fight at 1:10 of the sixth round in the main event of PBC on FS1 and FOX Deportes from Soboba Casino in San Jacinto Calif.
And Willie Monroe Junior was talking such a great fight, too. According to a news story from RingTV.com, Monroe Jr. will likely be pulled from his December 22nd fight with Jermall Charlo, the WBC interim champ at middleweight, due to how his urine test produced an “adverse finding.”
Ray Flores – On behalf of PBC we’re very excited about next Saturday, December 22, at Barclays Center where we have Jermell Charlo defending his championship against Tony Harrison.
