From Stu:
Michael Love is a friend of mine and I am very aware of the fights that have fallen over on Alex. He has been scheduled to fight the likes of Stiverne & Trevor Bryan amongst others and they have fallen over. His only opportunity to shine to date was when he was offered a fight with former IBF champ Charles Martin on short notice. Without going into details - lets just say the circumstances leading upto that fight were far from ideal. He has been in camp preparing for big fights and nothing has landed his way. He had a tough upbringing and has now settled down and matured a lot and does have power - make no mistakes about that. Joe is now coming off 2 losses and this is like a world title opportunity for Alex - make no mistakes about it - he has known about this fight for over a month already and is preparing for the fight of his life. The one thing I can assure you is that it will be exciting for as long as it lasts. I expect it to go over the half way mark and hopefully Joe's experience will be too much for him. Joe knows he has power and will not for one second under estimate him .. I expect it to be a great fight. Alex doesnt have the experience of Takam - Ruiz - AJ or Whyte .. but what you have is a fit - willing and able opponent who is not too old and desperate to use this opportunity to launch himself .. I am happy with my selection of opponents as is Team Parker & David Higgins.
