Schofield and Bahdi WBA lightweight title fight

Overview

Floyd Schofield and Lucas Bahdi are scheduled to compete for the vacant WBA lightweight title on October 10. The match was finalized through an agreement between Golden Boy and Most Valuable Promotions, allowing the fighters to bypass the WBA purse bid process.

The bout follows the WBA designating Gervonta Davis as “champion in recess” in June. Schofield, the WBA No. 1 ranked contender with a 19-0 record (13 KOs), is returning to the ring following a 16-month layoff. His last victory was a first-round knockout of Tevin Farmer in June 2025. Bahdi, the WBA No. 2 ranked contender with a 20-0 record (15 KOs), enters the match following recent victories over Roger Gutierrez and Ryan James Racaza.

The 12-round main event is set to take place at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago. Tickets for the event go on general sale starting August 28, with prices ranging from $30 to $300. The fight will be broadcast live worldwide on DAZN.
