Floyd Schofield targets Zepeda unification and WBA title fight

Floyd Schofield is targeting a unification bout against William Zepeda as he seeks to dominate the 135-pound division before eventually moving up to junior welterweight. Schofield, who recently secured a world title shot, also identified Abdullah Mason and Gary Russell Jr. as potential opponents. He expressed interest in a future matchup with Gervonta Davis and stated his intention to pursue Shakur Stevenson regardless of weight class.

Schofield is scheduled to fight Lucas Bahdi on October 10 for the vacant WBA lightweight belt. This bout follows a period of inactivity after Schofield was deemed unfit to compete in a highly anticipated February 2025 matchup against Shakur Stevenson due to a medical emergency in Saudi Arabia. While his father has made unverified claims regarding the circumstances of that medical event, Schofield is now focused on reclaiming his momentum in the ring.
