    Looks like Ali is circumventing his drugs ban by fighting in Dubai. Or has his ban been overturned?

    Saleem is a 39 year old, former 38-0 fighter (now 38-1) who piled up a string of KO wins against guys in US trailer parks before losing to a 3-4 fighter. That fight was four years ago.

    Anyway, this fight is scheduled for June 28 at Dubai's giant World Trade Centre, and is on the undercard of Xiong Zhao Zhong defending his WBC minimumweight title against Denver Cuello.

    Also, it's only a 6 rounder for some reason.

    Very strange stuff. :think

    Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Really bizarre fight.

    Strange? Why? Two bad fighters fighting each other and nobody cares. Often fighters dont get a world wide ban. Also they also can get a band in the countries which are part of the WADA.

    No it's just strange that two obscure HWs would fight out in Dubai. I posted this in the Brit forum as Adams is know here for his fight with Audley.

    Why not in Dubai? They have money and if the have a World Title fights they try to get an undercard. Charr also wanted to fight there until he knowed he could fight Haye.
