Devon Alexander's Net Worth
Devon Alexander, an American professional boxer, has an impressive net worth of $3 million. Born on February 10, 1987, in St. Louis, Missouri, Alexander, often called "Alexander the Great", began his journey in boxing in 1995. A former narcotics detective taught local kids the skill of boxing in an abandoned police station, sparking Alexander's interest in the sport.
Alexander, alongside Cory Spinks who later became a welterweight champion, was part of a group where many faced tragic situations—at least eight from the original group are deceased, and several, including Alexander's brother Vaughn, have been arrested. Under Cunningham's guidance, Alexander forged an extraordinary amateur career with a 300-10 record. He made his professional debut at age 17, defeating Vincent Torres by first-round technical knockout in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan.
In a match on February 5, 2005, Alexander secured a unanimous decision victory against Donovan Castaneda in front of 22,370 spectators. Following this, he clinched five successive victories, culminating in a notable win at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, Missouri, in July 2006. Continuing his winning streak, Alexander defeated Maximinio Cuevas by fourth-round technical knockout on January 6, 2007, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
Later, Alexander triumphed over Marcus Luck and Cory Peterson before facing former WBO junior welterweight champion DeMarcus Corley on January 19, 2008, at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden. In a highlight of his career, Alexander captured the vacant WBC light welterweight championship by defeating Junior Witter in 2009 through an eighth-round retirement (RTD 8).
Unfortunately, challenges arose as well; on October 22, 2010, he was stripped of the IBF Junior Welterweight title for not defending it against the top contender Kaizer Mabuza. His subsequent high-profile match on January 29, 2011, against Timothy Bradley resulted in a loss.
