BoxingScene.com was advised by IBF junior middlweight champion Cornelius "K9" Bundrage that he has arrived in St. Louis, MO. BoxingScene's David "Los Gatos" Rosenberg earlier reported that Bundrage's fight against his mandatory challenger Sechew Powell was in doubt when the former Contender series participant failed to show up for Wednesday's final press conference.  K9 said that he simply missed the press conference and that the fight was a go.

 

"I am in St. Louis right now. I heard that people were worried that I wasn't going to show up for the fight but I am here and ready to go," Bundrage told BoxingScene.com.

 

Bundrage-Powell takes place on Saturday night as part of the untelevised undercard to the Devon Alexander-Lucas Matthysse main event in St. Charles, MO.  Tavoris Cloud-Yusaf Mack and Bermane Stiverne-Ray Austin round out the HBO televised tripleheader.

 

The Detroit, Michigan native finished up our conversation by saying, "Don't bark if you can't bite!"
