Former junior welterweight and welterweight world titleholder Devon Alexander (27-4-1, 14 KOs), 31, of St. Louis, and former two-time welterweight titlist Andre Berto (31-5, 24 KOs), 34, of Winter Haven, Florida, will fight June 16 in Dallas, a source with knowledge of the plans told ESPN. The bout will be on the Showtime telecast headlined by welterweight titlist Errol Spence Jr. (23-0, 20 KOs) making his second defense in a homecoming bout vs. Mexico’s Carlos Ocampo (22-0, 13 KOs), the mandatory challenger. The Alexander-Berto winner probably puts himself in line for a shot at Spence should he also win. Alexander is coming off a draw with Victor Ortiz that virtually everyone thought Alexander won Feb. 17. Berto's last fight was a ninth-round knockout loss to Shawn Porter last April.

Competitive matchup between Former Titleholders who are now struggling to even get back into the Top 15. This win probably puts the winner back into the Top 15 at least. They're fighting just to maintain fringe contender status really though.
