==== Berto vs. Alexander ====
ESPN's Dan Rafael announced on April 28, 2018, that a deal had been reached for Berto to fight former 2-weight world champion [[Devon Alexander]] (27-4-1, 14 KOs) on the [[Errol Spence Jr.]] vs. [[Carlos Ocampo]] undercard on June 16 at [[The Ford Center at The Star]] in [[Frisco, Texas]], however the fight did not take place.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.boxingnews24.com/2018/04/devon-alexander-vs-andre-berto/|title=Devon Alexander vs. Andre Berto on June 16 on the Spence-Ocampo card » Boxing News|date=April 28, 2018|work=Boxing News 24|access-date=May 10, 2018|language=en-US}}</ref> On June 25, the fight was slated to take place on the [[Mikey Garcia]] vs. [[Robert Easter Jr.]] lightweight unification card at the [[Staples Center]] on July 28 on Showtime.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/devon-alexander-vs-andre-berto-on-garcia-easter-card--129437|title=Devon Alexander vs. Andre Berto on Garcia-Easter Card|work=BoxingScene.com|access-date=July 6, 2018|language=en-us}}</ref> The fight would instead main event its own card on August 4 at the [[Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum]] in [[Uniondale, New York]], on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/berto-vs-alexander-quillin-vs-love-set-down-august-4th--129697|title=Berto vs. Alexander, Quillin vs. Love Set Down For August 4th|work=BoxingScene.com|access-date=July 6, 2018|language=en-us}}</ref> Berto was dropped earlier on but rallied on in the second half of the fight to win a controversial split decision. One judge scored the bout 114–113 for Alexander, but the remaining two judges overruled, both scoring 115–112 in favor of Berto, giving him the win. Alexander had the better workrate of the two in the opening rounds and dropped Berto in round 3 after catching him with a left hand to the head. Replays showed the two shots landed on the back of Berto's head. The knockdown stood because Berto had rotated his head before the punches landed. Alexander began to tire around midway and Berto started taking over. In round 7, after trading on the inside, Berto suffered a cut near his right eye. Berto was at his best in round 12 using both hands. Alexander fought back and both boxers traded close as the fight came to an end. Websites, Boxing Scene and BadLeftHook had Alexander the winner and felt although Berto caught up in the later rounds, he did not do enough to win the fight.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.badlefthook.com/2018/8/4/17652308/andre-berto-wins-split-decision-over-devon-alexander|title=Andre Berto wins split decision over Devon Alexander|work=Bad Left Hook|access-date=August 6, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/berto-gets-off-floor-rallies-decision-alexander-results--130617|title=Berto Gets Off The Floor, Rallies To Decision Alexander|work=BoxingScene.com|access-date=August 6, 2018|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/scorecards/Andre-Berto-vs-Devon-Alexander--185|title=Andre Berto vs. Devon Alexander scorecard - Boxing News|website=www.boxingscene.com|language=en-us|access-date=August 6, 2018}}</ref> Alexander thought the fight was close, but should have taken the decision.

==Personal life==
In a March 2010 column he wrote for ''[[The New York Times]]'', Berto described some of his efforts for Project Medishare in Haiti after the earthquake, as well as relating that he is frequently mistaken for [[American football]] star [[Reggie Bush]].<ref>{{cite news | first=Andre | last=Berto |author2=Joan Raymond | title=Frequent Flier Holder of a Title, Yes, but Not a Heisman | date=March 8, 2010 | url =https://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/09/business/09flier.html | work =[[The New York Times]] | access-date = March 9, 2010 }}</ref> Berto's late father Dieuseul was a retired professional kickboxer who competed at [[UFC 10]], while his sister Revelina and brother [[James Edson Berto]] are both professional mixed martial artists themselves. Berto is often called "Mike", his middle name.
