Bxoing will return to Yankee Stadium for the first time since Muhammad Ali fought Ken Norton on Sept. 28, 1976. Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, who promotes both fighters and handled the Ali-Norton event in 1976, confirmed to the Associated Press  that a deal was reached with the Yankees organization to hold Yuri Foreman vs. Miguel Cotto at the stadium on June 5.

Arum said the stadium will be scaled for about 30,000-35,000 seats. The ticket prices will be reasonable, with the amounts ranging from $400 to $50 dollars. Top Rank continues their talks with HBO to keep fight on the network. If they are unable to reach a deal, the fight will take place on pay-per-view.
