On Saturday evening David will be at the First Annual BBBofC Southern Area Boxing Council Awards Dinner.

David, who won the WBA crown by thoroughly out boxing Russian behemoth Nikolay Valuev in November ‘08, has been nominated for the Southern Area Fighter Of The Year Award. Coincidentally both Darren Barker and Kevin Mitchell, who have also been nominated for the Fighter of the Year award, are set to be playing on Sunday at the Charity Football Tournament.

It’s Personal: Volatile Sept 11th Alexander-Barrett Showdown Set For Title Honours

Promoter Steve Goodwin has added some extra fuel to the fire that’s already burning between Hackney’s Mark ‘The Flash’ Alexander and Former English Super Featherweight Champion Ryan Barrett, by making their 11th September showdown, at the York Hall, Bethnal Green, London, for a championship title.
It’s already more than clear that neither Barrett or Alexander particularly likes the other by the comments each has been publicly making recently. Now with a championship belt on the line it’s become a ‘light the blue touch paper’ situation.
On Friday last week, prior to the photo shoot at the Ultrachem TKO Gym in Canning Town, for the promotional poster for the event, Barrett stated, “I don’t particularly like the man. I don’t like the way that he feels he has to call me out, he only had to be polite and put it in Boxing News. Instead he said I didn’t want to fight him.
He doesn’t exist in my World. I have no respect for the man. He’s upset the wrong person. All I’ll say to him is just run and hide.
I think he’ll fight the fight one of two ways. He might come out and try and nick the first few rounds and then run to see it out to a points win. If he thinks he can’t do that he’ll just start off running, making it as awkward as possible, but I don’t think his old legs will carry him the full ten rounds trying to outrun me, really.”

ARREOLA-QUEZADA CONFERENCE CALL TRANSCRIPT

ARREOLA-QUEZADA CONFERENCE CALL TRANSCRIPT
Dan Goossen: I want to welcome everybody on. I know it’s early out here on the West Coast, where this fight is going to be emanating from. You know, HBO’s loss is ESPN’s gain, because 10, 15 years ago, this would have been right up HBO’s and Showtime’s ally to have two hungry heavyweights trying to re-establish themselves into the – the world championship picture and – and to also make history.
I believe this is a history-making fight. And we’ve got the head of ESPN on, and I’m going to ask him to do a little research, if he already hasn’t, which I’m sure he has, but I’m sure in a lot of ways this could be a history-making fight on its own, because I don’t believe there’s ever been two heavyweights at this level or any level, quite frankly, of Mexican descent that have fought one another.
