KEIGHLEY boxer Muhammad Ali can book his ticket for the Rio Olympics tomorrow night.
The 19-year-old flyweight faces familiar foe Daniel Asenov in the semi-finals of the qualification event in Turkey.
The winner will automatically earn a place in this summer's Games in Brazil.
Ali, who comfortably came through his quarter-final with Ihor Sapinskiyi of Ukraine, has plenty of experience of facing Asenov.
Two years ago, he beat the Bulgarian in Zagreb to win the European Youth Championships. But Asenov had his revenge 12 months later on home soil in the European final.
Defeat in Samsun tomorrow evening would not end Ali's Olympic dream – the two losing semi-finalists will box off to decide the third qualification place.
