World Champions Sadam Ali & Richard Commey To make ring comebacks Feb. 23rd in Brooklyn PhilBoxing.com Tue, 14 Jan 2025  BROOKLYN (January 14, 2025) -- A pair of past world champions, Sadam “World Kid” Ali (27-3, 14 KOs) and Richard “RC” Commey (30-5-1, 27 KOs), will start their comebacks on Sunday, February 23, on an entertaining card, “The Return,” presented by Ali’s World Kid Promotions. All the action will be streamed on www.bxngtv.com live from Kings Theater in Brooklyn. Ticket prices range between $289.00 and $59.00 and are available for purchase online at https://www.kingstheatre.com/events/sadam-ali/. Ali, 36, hasn’t fought in 5 ½ years, and his company’s last promotion was in 2012, also in Brooklyn. A 2008 U.S. Olympian, Ali captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Junior Middleweight World title in 2017, upsetting then future Hall-of-Famer Miquel Cotto (41-5) at the famed Madison Square Garden. This fight is not a one-and-done for Ali, who is making a full comeback, starting Feb. 23. “I took a little time off from boxing,” Ali explained, “A break from something I’ve done my entire life. I was a 2008 Olympian and World Champion for a reason. I’m all in. I got the itch. I’m excited and ready to go. My comeback will be step by step to get some rust off. I know I can do it, and I will. It’s time to go! “I’m excited to be promoting again. We have a great card. Khalid Twaiti is an undefeated fighter, 14-0, Adam Saleh is a popular YouTuber fighting as a pro and, of course, Richard Commey. I’m ready to promote again and all these fighters are going to put on a show.” Ghana-native Commey, who fights out of The Bronx, was the International Boxing Federation (IBF) Lightweight Champion during 2019, after he stopped Isa Chaniev (13-1) in the second round of their title fight. The 36-year-old Commey, who has been inactive for nearly two years, will be fighting in an eight-round bout. Also slated to fight Feb. 23 is undefeated Brooklyn bantamweight Khalid Twaiti (14-0, 5 KOs), who was runner-up in the 2015 USA National Championships. Twaiti is coming off his first 10-round fight, which he won by way of a dominant 10-round unanimous decision (99-91, 99-91, 98-91) over Emmanuel Rodriguez (15-1) last October in Newark, New Jersey. YouTube sensation, lightweight Adam Saleh (1-0-1, 0 KOs), will be in this third four-round pro fight, supported by his nearly 5-million subscribers. Complete bouts will soon be released. Card subject to change.  |
