Floyd Schofield vs. Lucas Bahdi Set For October 10 WBA Title Fight

“The fight takes place October 10. We are 99% sure it will be in Las Vegas,” Schofield’s manager Michael Miller said to The Ring. “We are thankful for the chance to fight for a title. It is something we have waited on for years.”

Schofield (19-0, 13 KOs) holds the WBA No. 1 ranking, while Bahdi sits at No.
