So the show will go on.
Only without Keyshawn Davis, who weighed in Friday 4.3 pounds over the 135-pound limit for his bout scheduled for Saturday. That led to the cancelation of his WBO lightweight title fight against Edwin De Los Santos – and an adjustment to the lineup for Saturday.
The new main event: Abdullah Mason vs. Jeremia Nakathila in a 10-round lightweight bout.
There will be no major championship belt at stake. What will be on the line: Mason’s perfect record.
Mason, a 21-year-old from Ohio, is 18-0 with 16 KOs. In his last fight, he knocked down Carlos Ornelas three times before the referee stopped the fight after the sixth round.
There could be more knockdowns Saturday considering Nakathila (26-4, 21 KOs) suffered back-to-back KO defeats in 2023 before winning his past three fights.
Abdullah Mason fight time
Abdullah Mason vs. Jeremia Nakathila fight date: Saturday, June 7
Time: Main card starts at 10 p.m. ET. Prelims start at 6 p.m. ET

Delante Johnson def. Janelson Bocachica by unanimous decision
Johnson heard boos for several rounds by a crowd that was frustrated with a lack of action in a 10-round welterweight bout. But the referees saw it differently.
They scored the fight 100-90, 97-93, 98-92 for Johnson, who improved to 16-0.
Regardless of the scorecards, Johnson looked hesitant until the later rounds, when he finally showed his speed and power.
Bocachica, the 26-year-old from Cleveland, fell to 17-4-1 and is winless in his last six fights.
Troy Isley def. Etoundi William by unanimous decision
Isley overcame massive reach disadvantage against William, grinding out a victory by unanimous decision in their 10-round middleweight fight.
Early on, Isley looked befuddled by William’s 79-inch reach. But he solved the problem in time to improve to 15-0.
Midway through the fight, Isley muscled inside and began to score with body punches and a variety of other shots. It’s what he needed to shift the momentum.
The judges scored the fight 98-92, 96-94, 96-94 for Isley, the 26-year-old from Virginia.
William, a 32-year-old from Brazil, fell to 16-2.
Abdullah Mason record
Mason is 18-0 with 16 KOs. His opponent, Jeremia Nakathila, is 16-4 with 21 KOs.
Keon Davis def. Michael Velez-Garcia by KO
Davis, the younger brother of Keyshawn Davis, knocked out Velez-Garcia with a left to the body in the second round of their welterweight bout.
The fight ended with 38 seconds left in the round and Keyshawn Davis celebrating. Having failed to make weight for his own fight, Keyshawn was a spectator. Keon Davis, 23, provided compelling theater while remaining unbeaten.
The 6-foot-3 Keon Davis made good use of his reach advantage before landing the decisive blow. He improved to 4-0 with three KOs. He made his debut and was fighting for the third time in 2025.
Velez-Garcia, a 27-year-old from Puerto Rico, fell to 3-1.
Euri Cedeño def. Abel Mina by TKO
Cedeno improved to 12-0-1 in impressive fashion, punishing Mina for five rounds before Mina’s corner called the fight.
Mina showed no objection after getting knocked down midway through the fifth round and, upon absorbing more punishment, wobbling as the bell rung.
It was 11th stoppage for Cedeno, the 25-year-old from the Dominican Republic.
Mina, a 32-year-old from Ecuador, landed a fair number of solid punches. But he could not match Cedeno’s power and his record fell to 18-4-1.
Deric Davis def. Naheem Parker by KO
Davis scored his seventh knockout in seven fights, taking out Parker with the body shot in the second round of their lightweight fight.
A 22-year-old from Maryland, Davis (7-0) now has five first-round KOs and two second-round KOs. His latest knockout punch, a left hook, left Parker wincing and on a knee long after he failed to make the 10-count.
While Davis preserved his unblemished record, the 30-year-old Parker of New Jersey dropped to 5-3.
Patrick O’Connor def. Marcus Smith by TKO
O’Connor, an accomplished amateur boxer, looked more than ready for his pro debut. He pummeled Smith from the outset and the referee stopped the fight with 57 seconds left in the second round of their cruiserweight bout.
O’Connor, a 19-year-old from Maryland, unloaded on the 31-year-old Smith with powerful combinations. He scored a knockdown in the second before finishing Smith with another onslaught.
Smith’s record dropped to 2-2.
When is Keyshawn Davis’ next fight?
Keyshawn Davis, an Olympic silver medalist at the Tokyo Games in 2021, won the WBO title in February with a fourth-round TKO of Denys Berinchyk. He said he plans to move up in weight and fight at 140 pounds. There is no set date for his next fight after the cancelation.
