Spinks' title defense vs. Bundrage to be moved to later date

Junior middleweight titleholder Cory Spinks' defense against Cornelius Bundrage has been postponed.

Spinks (37-5, 11 KOs) was supposed to defend his title in his hometown of St. Louis on June 12, but promoter Don King said Wednesday that conflicting interests forced him to move the bout to a future card. The date and location have not been determined.

Bundrage (29-4, 17 KOs) remains the mandatory challenger for the IBF belt.

King also said he'll be putting on a show in St. Louis in August, although he declined to provide details. It likely will feature hot junior welterweight champion Devon Alexander - who is also from St. Louis - defending his title against former champion Andreas Kotelnik.
