Lightweight contenders Floyd Schofield against Lucas Badhi negotiates for a fight that Jack Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on June 28. Dazn ppv of the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Although Bahdi (19-0, 15 COs) are unbeaten and #6 WBA and #9 IBF are arranged, it is not the opponent that Schofield, 22, should forget to pull him out of his title fight against the WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson on February 22. Schofield has to fight someone much better than Bahdi, 31, to help save himself.

Manouk Akopyan is Reporting on X That Schofield against Bahdi is in talks on June 28 with a fight on the Paul-Chavez Jr. card.
Six-year-old Pro Bahdi’s biggest win came last year when he knocked Ashton Sylve in the sixth round on July 20. If Bahdi could fight against Schofield like that, he would have a decent chance of winning. It’s just that he has never looked so good before or since victory. Bahdi is likely to use its normal self and be beaten by the younger fighter if their battle is made on June 28.
Last week, Schofield mentioned that the team of Abdullah Mason asked if he was interested in fighting. He was pleasant, but there was no follow -up to them. Floyd sr. Mentioned that he wants $ 2.5 million, but there were no negotiations. This gave Schofield Sr. the impression that his son’s name was mentioned for promotional purposes without serious intention of Team Mason.
Schofield, who arranged the #2 WBA and #11 IBF, must continue to win to put himself in a position to possibly become a mandatory to get another chance. It is a pity that he came down with a disease and had to pull out of the fight with Shakur, because with the way the Newark, New Jersey, looked against the replacement opponent Josh Padley, he would have beaten him that night. Schofield’s power and youth would have been a problem for Stevenson.
