“A lot of people didn’t make it out, but I did.” – Devon Alexander
IBF Welterweight World Champion Devon Alexander has always turned to the gym as an escape from the rough life of gangs and drugs that plague North St. Louis. Now the 26-year-old southpaw is a once-beaten, two-division champ with Hall of Fame aspirations.
Check out this video to hear Alexander discuss his upcoming showdown with Shawn Porter, Saturday, Dec. 7.
Alexander’s story is fairly well known amongst boxing circles at this point, but it’s always worth hearing and listening to. Alexander really beat the odds and emerged as a great human being first, and a top-notch fighter second.
