Amateur career
Ali won the 2015 Amateur Boxing Association British flyweight title, when boxing out of the Bury ABC.

Failed drug test
In February 2018, Ali was banned from boxing for two years after traces of the anabolic steroid, Trenbolone were found in a urine sample whilst he was competing for the British Lionhearts in Casablanca, Morocco. Ali denied any wrongdoing, however his ban was upheld after he failed to provide enough evidence that he was not at fault.

Professional career
On 22 February 2020, Ali made his professional debut against the experienced Bulgarian Stefan Sashev. Ali won the bout after referee, Lee Every, disqualified Sashev for persistent holding. Ali's second bout as a professional was against Jamie Quinn on 5 December 2020. Ali won via comfortable point decision after winning every round of the bout.
