LOS ANGELES: A prominent US boxing trainer was in hospital Friday night with head injuries after allegedly being assaulted at a weigh-in in Flint, Michigan.
James Ali Bashir was punched from behind and knocked unconscious during the weigh-in at the Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center, US media reported. The TMZ.com website said Michigan police have a suspect in custody but they did not provide any details. Bashir was apparently seen arguing with an unidentified person earlier in the weigh-in.
