Undercard talents: Davis, Mason, LeBron
Oshaquie Foster vs. Robson Conceição
Keyshawn Davis vs. Miguel Madueno
Abdullah Mason vs. Luis Lebron
All four bouts on the main card feature lightweights facing tough opponents. The most valuable emerald jewel on the undercard is Abdullah Mason (13-0, 11 KOs) will take on the experienced Luis Lebron (20-5-1, 13 KOs) in an eight-round bout.
20-year-old Abdullah Mason is poised to become a future superstar in the lightweight division. Many see him as a future successor to Gervonta “Tank” Davis and the face of boxing. Top Rank is not in a rush to recruit Mason, but he has said he plans to fight for a world title in 2025.
Mason is talented, but given his talent and the entertainment value he brings, he deserves to be the main event on tonight's card over Shakur.
2016 Olympic Silver Medalist Keyshawn Davis (10-0, 7 KOs) will face Miguel Madueno (31-2, 28 KOs) in a 10 round bout. Keyshawn struggled in his bout against Nahir Albright last year and two injuries have left many questioning his future, but Top Rank decided to give him a puncher to see how he performs.
