Mason was initially scheduled to take on No. 1-ranked contender Joe Cordina, who was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/reason-why-the-us-denied-joe-cordina-visa-ahead-of-his-abdullah-mason-fight\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">unable to obtain a visa<\/a> and was replaced by Albert Bell.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"4u\">Mason, who was born and raised in Cleveland, will be fighting in his home state for the first time since 2023. The late opponent change pits him against Bell, a fellow Ohio native and former training partner.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"4x\">While both Mason and Bell touched on the awkwardness that comes with fighting a former sparring partner, neither will have any love lost in the ring. Neither has ever suffered a professional defeat and will have a fair amount of local support behind them.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Abdullah Mason on facing former sparring partner Albert Bell on short notice:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a little awkward&#8230; That&#8217;s definitely my guy, but boxing is boxing.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5VV1nLDcIg\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/5VV1nLDcIg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/arielhelwani\/status\/2072035132673032211?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">June 30, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"53\">Bell, who was initially scheduled to fight Andy Cruz on July 18, enters the short-notice title fight with a 26-0 record.

The 25-year-old Mexican is undefeated at 19-0-1 and is coming off a big win over Sulaiman Segawa in January.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5q\">Dedric &#8216;Scooter&#8217; Davis opens up the four-fight main card against 30-year-old Carlos Ramos.
