Abdullah Mason vs. Jeremia Nakathila live results, round-by-round updates, ring walks after Keyshawn Davis' weight miss
Abdullah Mason vs. Jeremia Nakathila headlines Saturday's event after Keyshawn Davis massively missed weight for his fight against Edwin De Los Santos. ()
Uncrowned has Abdullah Mason vs. Jeremia Nakathila live results, round-by-round updates, highlights, ring walks and start time for the Mason vs. Nakathila fight card on Saturday night at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Mason vs. Nakathila is the new main event after Keyshawn Davis vs. Edwin De Los Santos was canceled Friday evening.
Davis was more than four pounds over the 135-pound lightweight championship limit at the official weigh-in and was thusly stripped of his WBO lightweight world title.

Davis' and De Los Santos' teams then attempted to negotiate a deal, which would've allowed the fight to take place. The teams discussed a rehydration clause and a six-figure financial penalty but ultimately could not reach an agreement, so the fight was called off at the eleventh hour.
With Davis losing his title, the stakes have been raised for Mason's bout with Nakathila. Mason, the WBO's No. 2-ranked lightweight contender, will likely be ordered to face WBO No. 1 Sam Noakes for the vacant title later this year. However, Nakathila could snatch that position with an upset win.
It is the third bout for Mason (18-0, 16 KOs), Uncrowned's runner-up for 2024 Prospect of the Year, in the first half of 2025. Mason, 21, stopped Manuel Jaimes in February and then retired Carlos Ornelas in his first regional title bout in April.
Nakathila (26-4, 21 KOs) is on a three-fight win streak after back-to-back second-round knockout defeats at the hands of Raymond Muratalla and Ernesto "Tito" Mercado in 2023. Nakathila extended Shakur Stevenson the 12-round distance in their 2021 WBO interim super featherweight title bout.

In the night's co-feature, Kelvin Davis (15-0, 8 KOs), brother of Keyshawn, steps up to 10 rounds to face Nahir Albright (16-2, 7 KOs).
Keyshawn defeated Albright by majority decision in October 2023, but the result was changed to a no-contest after Davis tested positive for marijuana. Now, Albright takes on a second Davis brother on Saturday.
Mason vs. Nakathila begins at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN+, with the main card starting at 10 p.m. on ESPN and main event ring walks expected at 10:45 p.m. ET.
