Raucous Press Conference Kicks Off 'Gateway to Greatness'
ST.

Alexander (20-0, 13 KOs), from St. Louis, will put his WBC and IBF crowns on the line against Kotelnik (31-3-1, 13 KOs) in an Aug. 7 world championship doubleheader that will also feature undefeated IBF light heavyweight champion Tavoris "Thunder" Cloud (20-0, 18 KOs), from Tallahassee, Fla., taking on former IBF world champion Glen Johnson, from Jamaica now fighting out of Miami.
Kotelnik did not take kindly to Cunningham's comments on behalf of Alexander.
"They say it's a long way to come for an ass kicking, but I have a question for Devon Alexander after his people have made all these boasts," Kotelnik said. "Will Devon come back and fight me in a rematch in the Ukraine after I kick his ass?
