Ali to defend his title in New York at Turning Stone Casino


Coming off his best career win and ruining Miguel Cotto’s farewell. Saddam Ali will be returning to the ring on May 12th at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, NY

He will be defending his WBO Jr. Middleweight belt against former champion Liam Smith. The bout will be on HBO on the night the network shows the replay of Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin.

Smith is coming off back to back victories over Liam Williams and this will be his first time back on American TV since losing the same belt to Canelo Alvarez.
