Cleveland’s Rising Appetite For Smoke: Meet Abdullah Mason, Boxing’s Next World Champion
By Victor Promo Sports
If you’re not already watching Abdullah Mason, it’s time to change the channel. The 21-year-old lightweight from Cleveland, Ohio is undefeated, unshaken, and on a collision course with greatness.
A slick southpaw with explosive speed and a calm, calculating ring presence, Mason fights with the polish of a seasoned veteran.
He’s the second youngest of five boxing brothers and began stacking national attention as an amateur, winning consecutive national titles before turning professional at 17. Since then, he’s been flawless–scoring statement wins and knockouts with a style that blends precision, power, and patience. Trained by his father Valident, Mason has crafted a reputation as one of the most disciplined and dangerous rising stars in boxing today.
Now, the world is watching. On November 22, 2025, Mason will step into the spotlight for the biggest fight of his life–the WBO world title showdown against the UK’s undefeated Sam Noakes, live on DAZN. It’s the kind of transatlantic clash that defines a career. For fans across Ohio and beyond, take note: Mason isn’t just Cleveland’s next big thing-he might be boxing’s next king.
