Abdullah Mason's eight-round bout against Puerto Rican veteran Luis Lebron has been elevated to the ESPN-televised main card. The event features a four-fight blockbuster lineup, headlined by WBC lightweight world champion Shakur Stevenson, who returns home to defend his belt against Artem Harutyunyan.
In the co-feature, O’Shaquie Foster will defend his WBC junior lightweight world title against Brazilian Olympic gold medalist Robson Conceição. Additionally, lightweight contender Keyshawn Davis will face Mexican puncher Miguel Madueño in a 10-round special feature. These exciting matchups, along with Mason-Lebron, will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+ at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT.
Mason has been identified as a future pound-for-pound star since turning professional under the Top Rank banner in November 2021. The southpaw slasher has achieved three consecutive knockout victories, including a second-round blitzing of Jose Cardenas last November on the undercard of Stevenson’s decision victory over Edwin De Los Santos. In his last fight in April, Mason dismantled Venezuelan puncher Ronal Ron en route to a fourth-round stoppage.
