Liam Davies vs Shabaz Masoud

The eagerly awaited super bantamweight showdown between Liam Davies and Shabaz Masoud, with the IBO world championship at stake, will take place at the bp pulse LIVE (formerly Resorts World Arena) in Birmingham on Saturday 2 November 2024.

The fight was initially scheduled in July before illness ruled out the champion. Challenger, the undefeated Masoud (13-0, 4 KOs) did see action on the night and subsequently clashed with his rival afterwards as the pair set the scene for a classic confrontation.

Davies (16-0, 8) was last out in Birmingham when he seized his IBO title with a blistering second-round stoppage of Erik Robles Ayala. During his remarkable rise in the sport, Davies has previously become British, European, WBC International, and WBO International champion.
