Lucas Bahdi: record, next fight and profile →


Floyd Schofield III and Lucas Bahdi make weight for Saturday night’s DAZN main event.

Whether the White Sox win or lose Game 5 in Cleveland, Chicago will crown a new champion Saturday night on the South Side when Floyd Schofield Jnr and Lucas Bahdi collide

One massive punch lifted Lucas Bahdi from obscurity to contention. One more can take him to history. The lightweight who’ll fight fellow unbeaten Floyd Schofield Jnr for the vacant WBA lightweight title Saturday night in Chicago on DAZN can become Canada’s first 135lbs world champion and stand as the first male promoted by Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions to wear a world-title belt.

Golden Boy Promotions will attempt to send a second fighter to a lightweight title within two months on October 10 when unbeaten Floyd “Kid Austin” Schofield meets Lucas Bahdi for the vacant WBA belt in Chicago

Gervonta Davis has been designated a "Champion in Recess" by the The World Boxing Association. WBA also orders No. 1 Floyd Schofield to face No. 2 Lucas Bahdi for the now vacated title.

Albert Bell and Lucas Bahdi will head in separate directions in pursuit of their respective lightweight title aspirations.

Bahdi and Bell are rated fifth and sixth, respectively, by the IBF, whose lightweight titleholder is Raymond Muratalla.

Stephanie Han wears many hats, and after the end of 10 hard rounds Saturday in Orlando, she can add the designation of defending WBA lightweight titleholder.

Lucas Bahdi's impressive ascension – a high-profile KO, a spot on the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson undercard and a contract from Paul's MVP Promotions – has led to this moment.
