Mason’s Path to a World Title
Abdullah Mason, a 20-year-old rising star, has been kept busy by Top Rank with the goal of having five fights this year. Mason himself has expressed his desire to fight for a world title by 2025, although some believe this timeline may be ambitious. Despite his impressive performances, Mason has yet to face the likes of former Top Rank fighters like Shakur Stevenson, Raymond Muratalla, and Keyshawn Davis.
Recent Success and Future Opportunities
In his most recent fight, Mason showcased his skills by defeating Luis Lebon in just three rounds, stealing the spotlight from other notable fighters on the card. With a promising future ahead, Mason could potentially challenge for a world title by 2026 if he continues his winning streak. Top Rank is also eyeing potential matchups for Mason, including a possible fight against Keyshawn Davis, should he capture a world title in the near future.
Aside from Mason’s fight, fans can also look forward to an intense battle between heavyweights Arslanbek Makhmudov and Guido Vianello. This matchup is expected to deliver fireworks and could steal the show on fight night. As boxing fans anticipate these exciting bouts, the rise of Abdullah Mason in the boxing world continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
