Sadam Ali (21-0, 13 KO) will take on Francisco Santana (22-3-1, 11 KO) in a 10-round welterweight bout to air on HBO prior to the night’s main event. Ali, 26, is a former U.S. Olympian from Brooklyn nicknamed “World Kid,” and made his HBO debut last November with an impressive win over Argentina’s Luis Carlos Abregu. Santana, 28, is a fringe contender from California, whose record hides an impressive recent streak. After losing to fellow prospects Karim Mayfield (twice) and Jermell Charlo earlier in his career, he has recently scored victories over previously-unbeaten Eddie Gomez -- a particularly strong win -- and Kendal Mena.
The untelevised undercard will feature Kenneth Sims Jr (5-0, 2 KO), a junior welterweight prospect who has been sparring with Manny Pacquiao recently. He’ll be in action in a six-round bout. Also in action: Charles Martin vs. Tom Dallas, heavyweights, 10 rounds; Iago Kiladze vs Rayford Johnson, cruiserweights, 8 rounds.
Fight Time: 9 p.m. ET
TV Channels: HBO (United States), BoxNation (United Kingdom), RTL (Germany)
Streaming options: There are no legal streams for the fight in the U.S., but BoxNation subscribers in the U.K. can stream the fight at LiveSport.TV.
