Junior welterweight contenders Devon Alexander(Above) and Lucas Matthysse(Below) will square off June 25, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, Matthysse's promoter, told ESPN.com on Friday night. Although paperwork has yet to be signed, Schaefer said he made a deal with Don King, Alexander's promoter for the fight. Schaefer said he also came to terms with Matthysse. "I made a deal with King and I made one also with my fighter, so we are in," Schaefer said. King had already come to terms with Alexander, said Kevin Cunningham, Alexander's manager and trainer. The HBO bout likely will take place in St. Louis, Alexander's hometown, according to Schaefer and Cunningham. "This is one of those crossroads fights," Schaefer said. "The winner is right back in the mix at 140 pounds, which is one of the most exciting weight classes in boxing. Lucas Matthysse is always in exciting fights." Alexander (21-1, 13 KOs) is coming off a disappointing performance in his 10th-round technical decision loss to Timothy Bradley in a 140-pound title unification fight on Jan. 29. HBO is contractually obligated to a seven-figure comeback fight for Alexander. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=6235091
