Undefeated world champion Abdullah Mason (20-0, 17 KOs) defends his WBO lightweight crown to brand-new challenger Albert Bell (28-0, 9 KOs) in the main event of Top Rank’s July 4 show in Ohio, live on DAZN.
Welshman Joe Cordina was due to challenge Mason until he was forced out of the fight due to a VISA issue, so Toledo’s Albert Bell has stepped in to make this an all-Ohio affair, with the challenger living less than two hours away from the champion.
Abdullah Mason, 22 from Cleveland, won the vacant WBO crown with a dominant performance against England’s Sam Noakes last November. The 135lbs pair went to war in Riyadh, with the American coming out on top with a hard-fought unanimous decision win.
Aged 33, Albert Bell has been a pro for exactly 13 years now. He has won WBC Continental Americas, WBO NABO titles at super-featherweight, as well as IBF International and NABA belts at lightweight.
Bell was due to fight Andy Cruz in an IBF Eliminator in two weeks time, but when the opportunity to fight for the world title was presented to him, he naturally grabbed it with both hands.
‘Prince’ Albert has won his last four fights in his hometown, two by KO, and now his world title challenge takes place just 100 miles away in Cleveland where he will be very well supported.
It’s a rare all-Ohio battle between two unbeaten talents, but who walks away with the bragging rights in this tasty local derby? Let’s explore…
The big-bearded Bell is a very disciplined, rangy, patient puncher. He creeps forward behind a very tight, high guard where he throws explosive attacks whenever the opportunity arises. He is known to switch stances to keep his opponents guessing. However, Bell will drop his hands when he’s comfortable and use his feet and reflexes to slip backwards and counter.
His head is often on the firing line available to be hit, because he’s a stand-up-tall fighter, but Mason will need to get into close quarters to be able to achieve that.
The defending champion is a special talent. His victory over Sam Noakes was a very significant scalp, as the Kent puncher was an unbeaten British, Commonwealth and European titlist.
The southpaw is sharp and powerful with fast handspeed. He can fight on the inside and outside. He took some big shots during his war with Noakes and showed no signs of being hurt, but he was able to trouble Sam a few times, who ended the bout bloodied and bruised.
Although both boxers are unbeaten, I rate Mason’s skillset above Bell’s. I think he will be able to land sharp jabs at range, which he leaps into, as well as hooked shots in close. His movement and speed should see him able to get inside and under, land his shots, then exit cleanly. Bell is decent counter-puncher though, so Mason will need to be very quick and clever.
I think Mason will have a tough fight to begin with and gradually assume full control as the rounds go on until he is firmly in the driving seat dictating things. I think he will need a few opening rounds to get into his stride and close the gap, then eventually dominate all the way to another win.
Bell has stopped three of his last five opponents and hasn’t lost a single round of his recent two 10-round victories. He will be a formidable opponent, far taller and bigger at over six-foot, which is why I believe he may take some getting to grips with in the early rounds.
I’m picking Mason to work his way into the fight and once he gets on top, to stay on top to earn a hard-fought decision victory. There’s also a chance he could overwhelm Bell to win by stoppage if he is really able to dominate, but Bell is unbeaten, tall and awkward, so I’m picking a points win for the champ.
Prediction: Mason to win
Extra Tip: Mason to win by decision

Tim Rickson is the WhichBookie boxing analyst who joined the team midway through 2022 and will be providing boxing betting tips throughout the year for all of the big fights.
All of the boxing tips currently published on WhichBookie are completely free of charge. Remember to check back regularly and subscribe to our social media channels to be notified of when new free boxing tips are published.
Yes. All tips remain live here on WhichBookie. You can view all past boxing tips here on this page.
If you’d like to back any of the selections, we recommend a bookmaker to do so with. These are usually the bookies offering the best odds on the selection at the time of posting the tip but it may be worth checking other bookies in case the odds have changed. There may also be betting offers associated with the tip that are only available with specific bookmakers that are worth taking into consideration.
We never recommend an actual stake to use for each bet as this will vary between people depending on the size of their betting bank. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and always stick to your staking plan.
WhichBookie boxing analyst Tim Rickson will publish tips whenever he finds value in a bet. If there is a big fight coming up, it’s likely that he will cover it but generally, they’ll be posted whenever a good bet comes about.
Many of the big boxing matches are only available via Pay Per View. However, you may be able to find streams of some of the less-popular fights via the Bet365 Live Streaming service. Bet365 provides over 100,000 live streams of sporting events every year and is regarded as one of the best services for streaming sports online without charge.
There are several options when it comes to betting on boxing, and the more you know, the better your chances of success. We will now go into more detail about some of the different betting markets that you will find, and discuss a few potential strategies you could use.
As with most sports, the outright market is probably the simplest, because you’re just betting on who will win the fight. There are no other criteria to consider, other than the fact that with many of the best bookies for boxing, you can also bet on the draw. However, draws in boxing are very rare and not many people tend to back this outcome.
Bear in mind that in many fights, one boxer tends to be a heavy favourite and it’s usually quite easy to pick the winner. There don’t tend to be that many shock results. Therefore, the odds on the favourite are often very low, even if you use the bookie with the best odds as described earlier in the article.
If you’re happy betting at short odds, you can certainly get a good success rate simply by backing short price favourites in boxing. But many people prefer to look for bigger wins. So you may sometimes need to look at some of the other markets to get a better return on your bet.
This market lets you choose not only who will win the fight, but how they will win. Different methods of victory are usually grouped as follows:
So because there are more possible outcomes in this market, the odds are higher than just the outright win market.
The Round Betting market offers the opportunity to get the highest odds. Here you can bet on which fighter will win, and which round he/she will win in.
Options to bet on a fighter to win on points, or to bet on the draw, are both also included in this market. In a 12 round bout, that gives 27 different possible outcomes. Therefore, the odds on each one are naturally going to be much higher. Think of it as the equivalent of the correct score market in football betting.
So the round betting market offers the biggest potential wins when betting on boxing. But of course, it’s harder to predict the outcome. You do have the option to split your stake to cover more than one outcome though. So if you felt that a fighter would win within the first 3 rounds, you could split your stake to back him to win in round 1, round 2 and round 3. The odds would mean you’d get a good profit if any of those outcomes happened.
This is a simple market in which you decide whether the fight will last all 12 rounds or not. Therefore there are only two outcomes to bet on, Yes or No.
It’s possible to get a decent success rate when betting on this market. Check the stats and the history of each boxer and ask yourself the following:
The answers to these key questions should give you a good idea of whether the fight is likely to go the distance or not. There can still be surprises, but you’ll certainly win more bets than you lose.
This market allows you to bet on the total number of rounds the fight will last for. The advantage here is that you do not need to specify who will win, just how long it will last.
For example, let’s consider a market of Over/Under 3.5 Rounds. There are only two options to bet on, either Over 3.5 Rounds or Under 3.5 Rounds. Therefore, you would approach the market as follows:
You will find that similar markets are available for Over/under 4.5, Over/Under 5.5, Over/Under 6.5 etc.
As any professional punter will tell you, the key to making a profit is not knowing who will win every time. Because obviously, that is not possible. The real trick is making sure that when you do win, you get the best possible odds on your bet.
We studied the odds for outright bets on every professional boxing match over a period of three months. We wanted to find the best bookies for boxing odds over a prolonged period of time.
As you would expect, Betfair and Bet365 are better than most of the competition. But the results showed that Betfred have the highest odds overall and came out well in some of the other markets like round betting.
Betfred were consistently best or equal best odds on nearly every outright market we recorded. They blew some of the other online bookies away in terms of the value they offered on boxing, and their user ratings are good too. So if you don’t have an account with them yet, we would definitely recommend joining.
