Sam Noakes v Abdullah Mason

Briton Sam Noakes will fight fellow unbeaten contender Abdullah Mason for the vacant WBO lightweight world title in Saudi Arabia this November.

The 27-year-old from Maidstone has won all 17 of his professional bouts, stopping 15 opponents.

American Mason, 21, also boasts a perfect record, with 17 knockouts from 19 victories.

The WBO ordered the bout after stripping former champion Keyshawn Davis, who failed to make weight for a cancelled fight against Edwin De Los Santos.

The fight will take place during Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Season, with the exact date and venue yet to be confirmed.

The undercard will feature London's Anthony Yarde challenging WBC light-heavyweight champion David Benavidez, and a welterweight main event between WBO champion Brian Norman Jr and Devin Haney.

this fight should be on the canelo v terence netflix card to showcase abdullah as a potential star. bam v puma martinez has also been agreed for the november card

Awesome card if it all stays together but they're not seriously putting Benavidez v Yarde or Haney v Norman as the undercard, are they? Bam v Martinez may be the low-key main event then again, as far as one fans anticipation ;D. That will be fireworks. 4 months is a lifetime in Turki time so let's see if the line up stays together and gets announced but great line up. Mason is really coming into his own.
