Unbeaten
heavyweight contender and IBF mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin (18-0, 13
KOs) will take on Javier Mora in
Berlin on March 13. The 2004
Olympic gold medal winner will make his second fight under the guidance of star
coach Teddy Atlas. In December, the 30-year-old Russian became the first man to
knock out Leo Nolan, clinching a third-round KO victory in
Ludwigsburg.
To warm up
for the hotly-anticipated showdown against Wladimir Klitschko, Povetkin needs to
take care of business against Mora (22-3, 18 KOs) on the
Huck-Richards card. “Everything can happen in heavyweight boxing, so I really
need to be on alert,” Povetkin said. “I will of course be entering the fight as
the favourite since I had a very good amateur career and I am currently the
IBF´s number one. I will win this fight and show everybody that I am ready for
Klitschko”.
Povetkin and
Atlas have been training in New
Jersey. “The training was very hard and very good,”
Povetkin said. “I have learned a lot of things. Of course it will take a while

DEVON ALEXANDER ESCAPED STREETS OF ST. LOUIS TO BECOME A CHAMPION
Author: DON KING By PETER OWEN NELSON, SPECIAL TO SI.COM

Behind
a metal detector at the entrance to the Marquette
Recreation
Center, a middle-aged secretary sits
at the front desk, crying. A boy she knew, a 19-year-old amateur boxer named
Darnell Mason, had been standing in the wrong place at the wrong time and was
killed in a drive-by. Three other people were shot: one in the arm, one in the
leg and one in the face. The bullet that killed Mason went through his left eye.
In north St. Louis, this is
nothing unusual. Upstairs in the Marquette gym, Devon Alexander, 23, shadowboxes
as he has since he was seven, so many years and so many killings ago. Jabbing,
up on his toes, he looks at ease, but to him there are better places to be.
For Alexander, life in the ring began in the fall of
1995, when a former narcotics detective began teaching him and 29 other kids how
to slip punches and throw hooks in the basement of an abandoned police station.
Officer Kevin Cunningham had brought these boys from their elementary school,
for which he was a community patrolman. In most cities police don't monitor
elementary schools, but this was the Hyde Park section of
St. Louis, which had a crack-fueled
economy and one of the highest homicide ra..........

the main card of Sykes vs. Morris for the British Super Featherweight title this
Friday in Huddersfield.
"Just like my team Manchester United, I need
to make a point this weekend. I've been away and it's time to return back to my
slot as the number one domestic heavyweight, in the premier league of boxing."
said Fury.
"Forget that other
London rival, Derek Chisora, he's
just been keeping my seat warm. While he's been snogging men, I’ve been sparring
them. Once I'm done with Blasko on Friday night, I'll maybe have another fight
before resolving the McDermott situation once and for
all”.
The rematch with McDermott is set to take
place on May 22nd in Manchester,
