Joining Al on the broadcast as color commentator will be former World Lightweight Champion Sean O’Grady. Al said: “It will be great to work with Sean again—he is one of great ambassadors for the sport and a wonderful guy. I also love switching over to do play by play and host shows, so this will be extra fun. The Buffalo Run has a great tradition of excellent boxing shows and this new series will be no exception. I look forward to doing the telecast and getting a chance to interact with the boxing fans at this event.”
