O'Malley Says He Must KO Zahabi at White House to Reclaim Title Contention

Sean O'Malley has not won by knockout since defeating Aljamain Sterling for the bantamweight title in 2023, with his only other stoppage in that stretch coming against Raul Rosas Jr. in 2021. O'Malley acknowledges that a spectacular finish in his upcoming fight against Aiemann Zahabi at the White House event is essential to firmly re-enter the title picture. He stated plainly that he needs to "turn the lights out" on his Canadian opponent.
