Disgraceful scenes this afternoon at the Dort Federal Events Center in Flint Michigan, saw veteran trainer James Ali Bashir assaulted whilst attending his fighter, Ivana Habazin’s weigh in for this weekends bout with unified female Middleweight champion Claressa Shields.. Ali had been engaging verbally with several members of the Shields entourage, before he was punched repeatedly in an unprovoked attack by an unknown individual who immediately fled the arena.. The visibly upset fighter knelt by the 70 year olds side as he awaited medical attention before accompanying Bashir via ambulance to the hospital.. This turn of events leaves tomorrow’s rather significant fight in jeopardy, with the weigh in being inconclusive and the visiting fighter being in an unfit mental condition to perform with Ivana and James in shock at such a classless act.. Promoter Dmytry Saleta refused to comment whilst an apologetic Shields briefly blasted the act in an Ellie Sechback interview earlier this evening..
