Floyd Schofield and Lucas Bahdi are set to face each other in a highly anticipated boxing match for the vacant WBA lightweight title in Chicago. The event will take place over Saturday night and into Sunday at the Wintrust Arena. This main event will see the undefeated Schofield (19–0, 13 K.O.), from Jersey City, New Jersey, take on the equally undefeated Bahdi (20–0, 15 K.O.), from Niagara Falls, Ontario. Schofield, who is 24 years old and currently based in Austin, holds the top rank in the WBA lightweight division. Bahdi, 32 years old, is ranked second in the same division. The WBA lightweight title, which is contested at a weight limit of 61.2 kilograms (135 pounds), became vacant after Gervonta Davis was named "champion in recess," a term used when a title is temporarily held by someone who is not actively competing. In preparation for the event, both boxers successfully met the weight requirements during the weigh-in, with Schofield at 135 pounds and Bahdi at 134 pounds. The main card will also feature several other bouts, including Ricardo Sandoval vs. Sergio Mendoza, Jahmal Harvey vs. Pedro Castaneda, and Jan Paul Rivera vs. Abraham Perfecto. These fights are expected to add to the excitement of the night. Additional preliminary bouts will include Tristan Kalkreuth vs. Ivan Rosado, Asa Stevens vs. Cristian Williams, Joshua Edwards vs. Craig Lewis, Grant Flores vs. Mikey Dahlman, and Naomy Valle vs. Sheyla Moreno. The entire event will be broadcast live on DAZN, a popular streaming service that provides access to a wide range of sports events. Fans from around the world will be able to watch the fights as they happen, making this a significant event in the boxing calendar.
