Bob Alexander

Alexander’s Ring Announcing career began in 1989 when he convinced a promoter to let him announce one rainy night on Sanibel Island, Florida. The fights were held on tennis courts that became flooded from the downpour. During the co-main event, the sound system went out and Alexander had to shout the introductions and results through cupped hands for the remainder of the night. "The place was full of drunks who were yelling and pelting me with beer cups," he says. "I figured this is as bad as it can get."

In early 2014, Alexander was voted in to serve on the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame board of directors as its media representative.

Alexander is a member of the 2010 Class of Inductees for the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame, along with Muhammad Ali, Barbara Buttrick, Don King, James “Smitty” Smith and others.

Alexander was the Master of Ceremonies for the inaugural Florida Boxing Hall of Fame, 2009.

Alexander was born in Detroit, Michigan and moved to Punta Gorda, Florida in 1973 at the age of 10. He graduated from Charlotte High school in 1981 and began his radio career in 1982. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Florida in May 1986.
