CLEVELAND (July 1, 2026) - Abdullah Mason and Albert Bell kicked off fight week today with a public workout at Zelma George Recreation Center in Cleveland, just three days out from their all-Ohio world title showdown.
Cleveland-born Mason (20-0, 17 KOs) will defend his WBO lightweight world title against unbeaten Toledo native Bell (28-0, 9 KOs) on Saturday, July 4, at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center.
They were joined by WBC featherweight world champion Bruce Carrington (17-0, 10 KOs), who will defend his crown against Mexico’s Rene Palacios (19-0-1, 10 KOs) in the co-feature, and U.S. Olympian Tiger Johnson (17-0, 8 KOs), a Cleveland native who will take on Christopher Guerrero (16-0, 9 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight clash.
Also appearing were Mason’s brothers, Ibrahim Mason (2-0, 2 KOs) and Abdurrahman Mason (2-0, 2 KOs), who will compete in separate four-rounders on the undercard. Ibrahim faces Erik Hanley (1-2, 1 KO) in a super featherweight fight, while Abdurrahman takes on Alvaro Huizar Cabral (1-0) at lightweight.
Mason-Bell headlines TNT Sports and DAZN’s inaugural The Fight event, a new monthly live boxing series, and will be broadcast co-exclusively in the U.S. on TNT, truTV and DAZN, and worldwide on DAZN.
Mason-Bell, Carrington-Palacios, Tiger-Guerrero and the Scooter Davis-Carlos Ramos eight-round lightweight opener will be broadcast LIVE beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
