\u201cIt hasn\u2019t even been four years since my last amateur fight,\u201d Mason said during the press conference. \u201cSo, the same thing we did with ESPN with Top Rank, the strides we\u2019ve been making since I turned pro. I feel like we can do the same thing with DAZN.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mason (21-0, 17 KOs) won the vacant WBO title last November with a decision over Sam Noakes in a high-action fight that showed both his upside and the areas that still need work. It was a good win. It also wasn\u2019t the kind that settles where he stands in a crowded lightweight division.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where his comments start to run ahead of his position. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to collect a lot more of these [world titles at 135],\u201d Mason said. \u201cSo from here on, I\u2019m looking to collect more world titles. Whatever way they come, I\u2019m ready to grab them all up.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also didn\u2019t put any ceiling on how far he thinks he can go.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever many I want to climb,\u201d Mason said when asked about moving up in weight. \u201cWhether it\u2019s one, two, three, four, five, six\u2026 I\u2019m taking it one step at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

That kind of talk is normal for a young champion. It\u2019s also easy to say before you\u2019ve been in with the fighters who force you to slow down and adjust.<\/p>\n

Mason is one of Top Rank\u2019s best prospects in terms of style and upside. He throws with intent, he takes chances, and he doesn\u2019t fight like someone being carefully protected. That part is real. What hasn\u2019t happened yet is the stretch of fights that turns that promise into something proven.<\/p>\n

The move to DAZN doesn\u2019t change that. It just gives Top Rank a different stage to build him on.<\/p>\n

If Mason keeps getting matched the way he has so far, the wins will keep coming. The question is what happens when those wins are no longer guaranteed, and the fights start asking more of him than offense and confidence. That\u2019s where this version of Mason still needs to show something.<\/p>\n
