ESPN announced Thursday afternoon that its next iteration of Premier Boxing Champions’ PBC on ESPN card will take place on Oct. 14 at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz. Former two-time world champion Devon Alexander will take on Aaron Martinez in the event’s headliner.
Alexander (26-3, 14 KOs) desperately needs to get his career back on track after winning world titles at junior welterweight and welterweight. He’s dropped two of his last three bouts, with his most recent outing being an uninspired 12-round unanimous decision loss to Amir Khan last December. A win over Jesus Soto Karass was sandwiched between the loss to Khan and a unanimous decision defeat to Shawn Porter.
