LAS VEGAS, NV (September 21, 2023) - Super bantamweight contender Ra'eese Aleem (20-1, 12 KOs), currently ranked #5 by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), is ready to take on his next challenge. Aleem is setting his sights on a showdown with Ireland's TJ Doheny (24-4, 18 KOs) in his quest to ascend the WBO rankings. In addition, Aleem is open to fighting anyone rated in the WBO to ten.
Aleem's recent setback in Australia, where he faced local hero Sam Goodman (15-0, 7 KOs) in a closely contested split decision loss, has only fueled his desire to make a comeback and prove his worth on American soil. The razor-close nature of the fight left no doubt in Aleem's mind that he belongs among the elite in the super bantamweight division.
"I've faced adversity, and I've learned from it," said Ra'eese Aleem. "The loss to Goodman in Australia was a tough pill to swallow, but it's only made me hungrier. Now, I'm looking forward to challenging TJ Doheny and showing the world what I'm made of. He’s ranked #4 and I’m #5, and if a fight can be made in the USA, then I’m ready to go. I also want to let it be known that I’ll fight anyone in the top ten in the WBO rankings. My goal is to fight here in the USA before the end of the year, or early 2024.”
"Ra'eese is a fighter with incredible heart and talent," Ra'eese Aleem's manager, Greg Hannley stated when talking about his fighter's abilities and aspirations. "We believe that a victory over Doheny, or anyone in the top ten will propel him further up the WBO rankings and put him in a prime position to fight for a world title."
