Junior middleweight world titleholder Miguel Cotto (41-5, 33 KOs) is scheduled to fight on Dec. 2 in the main event of an HBO card at Madison Square Garden in New York in what he has repeatedly said will be the final fight of his career. But who the 36-year-old Puerto Rican legend will face has been a matter of much speculation. There has been talk of a possible fight with former middleweight titlist David Lemieux and lightweight titleholder Mikey Garcia has called him out, saying he would go up in weight. However, multiple sources with knowledge of the conversations, told ESPN that Cotto, the only Puerto Rican man to win world titles in four weight classes, likely will defend his title against Sadam Ali in his final fight. Ali (25-1, 14 KOs), 29, a 2008 U.S. Olympian from Brooklyn, New York, shares Golden Boy as a promoter with Cotto. Ali is coming off a wide decision win against Johan Perez on July 29 and has won three fights in a row since he got knocked out by Jesse Vargas in the ninth round of a vacant welterweight world title fight in March 2016.
