ST. LOUIS (AP) — Three world titles will be on the line on the same night next month after promoter Don King added another championship fight to a stacked card at the Scottrade Center.

Cory Spinks will defend his IBF junior middleweight title against Cornelius Bundrage as part of an Aug. 7 tripleheader headlined by unified 140-pound champion Devon Alexander against former titleholder Andreas Kotelnik.

IBF light heavyweight champion Tavoris Cloud also will face former titleholder Glen Johnson.

The Spinks-Bundrage fight was originally scheduled for June 12, but King didn’t want to promote two different cards in St. Louis so near to each other. Spinks and Alexander are both originally from St. Louis.
