Cornelius Bundrage faces Ishe Smith on tonight's edition of Showtime Championship Boxing, with J'Leon Love showcased in the co-feature.

With Devon Alexander out of his scheduled main event on February 23 in Detroit, the show will go on with Cornelius "K9" Bundrage defending his IBF junior middleweight title against Ishe Smith in the new main event.

Gabriel Rosado has decided not to fight on December 8 in Philadelphia, as he focuses on landing a bout with IBF champion Cornelius 'K9' Bundrage.

Robert Guerrero has options for his next fight, which is being targeted for the end of the year, including Marcos Maidana and Andre Berto.

Andre Berto will be promoted by Golden Boy Promotions for his next fight, with Lou DiBella saying he's stepped aside to allow - most likely - Berto to face Cornelius Bundrage on November 24.

Promoter Lou DiBella says he's not concerned about Golden Boy's Richard Schaefer saying he represents Andre Berto, because he's been told by Berto's team that he's still their promoter.
