Abdullah Mason vs Sam Noakes | 11/22/2025

While America celebrates its 250th birthday in the mist of a heatwave that is crushing my ability to focus, boxing will be happening. Newly crowed lightweight world champ Abdullah Mason (20-0, 17 KOs) will defending his title this 4th of July.

As DAZN looks to grow its influence, they have partnered with TNT (the former home of the NBA) to simulcast fight cards here in the U.S. Mason's first defense will be the partnership's first joint venture! Mason will face off with the undefeated Albert Bell (28-0).

Abdullah Mason takes the decision over Sam Noakes! Wins first ever world title.

Absolute banger put on between the American and the Englishman! Gonna be a contender for FoTY.

A real phonebooth type of fight as Mason and Noakes spent most of this one in range trying to punch one another's block off. Mason's offensive output proved too much over 12, as he was able to put punches together quicker and turn Noakes to keep him reacting. Both fighters had a ton of success going to the body, visibly hurting one another at multiple points in the fight. Noakes had some success trying to wrestle with Mason, locking him up with one arm and then hitting him with the other but that went away as the fight went on.

Great great fight. Mason is the WBO lightweight champ. Hopefully these two run it back at some point down the line.
