Bahdi’s departure from the process is not without merit – in fact, the suggested rumors indicate an instant upgrade for him. BoxingScene has learned that plans are in place for Bahdi, a 32-year-old from Niagara Falls, to next face Floyd Schofield, 19-0 (13 KOs), from Austin, Texas, for the vacant WBA lightweight title. Should the bout get finalized, tentative plans call for an April showdown.
