In the first boxing event to be held at a Yankee Stadium since Muhammad Ali beat Ken Norton in 1976, former WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto challenges Israeli Yuri Foreman for his WBA Super Welterweight title.

The Cotto – Foreman bout is billed “Slugfest at the Stadium” as it will be held at the new Yankee Stadium in New York City, New York, USA on June 5, 2010.

This will be aired LIVE on pay-per-view starting at 11:15 PM ET because Foreman is an Orthodox Jew who can’t even travel to the arena until after sunset.

However, several sites will actually offer it for free like Freedocast, LiveStream and UStream. You just have to look for them patiently.

UPDATE June 5, 2010: Yuri Foreman lost his WBA Super Welterweight title to Miguel Cotto via 9th Round TKO.
