The title fight is part of TNT Sports‘ inaugural “The Fight” broadcast, which will feature a monthly series of boxing matches slated to air on TNT and truTV and stream on DAZN. The 22-year-old Mason is currently boxing’s youngest world champion and he’ll defend his WBO belt against Albert Bell, who came in as a late replacement for Welsh boxer Joe Cordina, who had his U.S. visa denied last week after being charged in connection with a recent assault.
