BoxingScene.com has been advised that former two-division champion Devon Alexander (26-4) will return to the ring on October 3rd in a Fox Sports 1 main event against Walter Castillo (26-4-1).
Alexander has been out of the ring since losing an unanimous decision against Aaron Martinez in October, 2015. The fight was his second loss in a row after also losing a decision to Amir Khan.
The St. Louis native has since turned around his life after overcoming an addiction to prescription painkillers and is now training with his long time trainer Kevin Cunningham at Cunningham's new gym down in Florida.
The fight will likely take place in Orlando with Jervontae Stanks (13-2) facing an opponent to be determined in the co-feature slot.
