Wanna Fight Laila Ali? Call 818-883-3014
Yahya McClain , promoter (and husband) of womens boxing superstar Laila "She Be Stingin" Ali contacted Boxingtalk.com to squash any rumors regarding a potential showdown between Ali and Ann Wolfe. McClain told Boxingtalk.com that Brian Young, the chief of Prize-Fight Promotions-who Yahya described as "a crook, a back-stabbing high classed ticket scalper calling himself a boxing promoter"-must be trying to pull the bait and switch by telling sponsors and investors that he has the Ali-Wolfe fight. "He's using Laila's name to get sponsorship money. Then at the last minute he's going to tell his sponsors Laila pulled out, but we should still move forward with the promotion since you've put this money in. Greg, Brian Young will never promote a Laila Ali fight." McClain said Team Ali welcomes the Ann Wolfe fight and other fight for that matter. In fact he encouraged anyone interested in making an Laila Ali fight to contact Absoloot Boxing at 818-883-3014.
