Powell out, Gavril in as next fight for Alexander

Previously, Boxingtalk reported that middleweight Vaughn Alexander (pictured) would be fighting Money Powell IV next. Today, Alexander's manager, Mke Cameron wrote the following on social media: ”After Money Powell decided not to fight [Vaughn Alexander] on July 21st, we have signed, sealed and delivered the contract to fight on July 27th against Ronald Gavril on the Gervonta Davis undercard [in Maryland]." Gavril (19-3) lost two super middleweight title fights to David Benavidez, one by split decision. He returned from those losses in December with a win over Antowyan Aikens but has not fought since then.  Alexander (14-3) is coming off a decision loss to undefeated Anthony Sims Jr. About the quick change in schedule accomplished for Alexander, Cameron added, "This happened directly after negotiations on Money Powell fell through. Cameron Management wastes no time"
