Boxing's youngest world champion, 22-year-old Abdullah Mason (20-0, 17 KOs) will defend his WBO lightweight title against late-replacement Albert Bell (28-9, 9 KOs) in front of his hometown crowd at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland on the 250th anniversary of American Independence Day on Saturday, July 4, as part of DAZN and TNT Sports' inaugural The Fight event. The event will be broadcast on DAZN and TNT co-exclusively in the US and on DAZN worldwide.
Mason became the youngest current champion back in November when he defeated Sam Noakes in a back-and-forth battle that was one of the best fights of 2025. Now, Mason returns for a significant fight with big stakes in his hometown against another exciting fighter.
Bell replaces Joe Cordina, who was forced to pull out of the fight due to a visa issue in England. Now, Bell, who was set to face Andy Cruz on a DAZN card on July 18, gets an opportunity to win championship gold.
In the co-feature, Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington (17-0, 10 KOs) puts his WBC featherweight title on the line against Rene Palacios (19-0-1, 10 KOs).
Also on the card, Cleveland native and U.S. Olympian Tiger Johnson (17-0, 8 KOs) takes on fellow unbeaten Christopher Guerrero (16-0, 9 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight battle, and Scooter David takes on Carlos Ramos.
