Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing today announced the long over due American debut of Moroccan sensation Ali "The Hurricane" Oubaali (19-3, 16 KO's). Oubaali came to the states 20 months ago to realize his dream of becoming a world champion. With a record of 19 wins, and a non-stop punching style, he is determined to achieve that dream.

Oubaali is set to face Panamanian southpaw Victorio Abadia (22-5, 8 KO's) as the co-main event on the "Boxing - Ballroom" card at The Grand Ballroom, Manhattan Center, New York City. The bout is scheduled for eight rounds of toe-to-toe action.

This fight marks Oubaali's sixth time fighting outside of his native France, winning all but one, Oubaali proves he can fight on foreign soil and be victorious.

"I left everything back in my homeland of France to come to America, I landed with nothing in my pocket but a dream. I have been very blessed to have a fantastic support team of trainers, management and promoter Joe DeGuardia. I am looking forward to showcasing my talents to the American fight fans, and capturing the American public" said Oubaali

"Oubaali has long promised that he will be the most exciting fighter to hit America since Manny Pacquaio. I look forward to watching his fight on October 18. It really is a fight-night of the 'action fighters' with Vinny Maddalone and Ali Oubaali and the rest of the planned fights," said Joe DeGuardia.
