Undefeated Super-Bantamweight slickster Shabaz Masoud has signed a multi-fight promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing.
One of the brightest talents in Britain, Shabaz has won all eleven on his professional contests since turning over at the Bolton Whites Hotel with a third round TKO win over Stefan Sashev back in May 2018.
The 28-year-old from Stoke is trained and managed by Ben Davison out of the Ben Davison Performance Centre in Harlow, Essex alongside two-time Featherweight World Champion Leigh Wood and rising Super-Welterweight star Pat McCormack.
‘Maverick’ (12-0, 4 KOs) picked up the WBA Intercontinental Title last time out in November by stopping fellow unbeaten rival Jack Bateson in the twelfth and final round of their clash at the Utilita Arena Sheffield.
Masoud, a former Sports Development student at Staffordshire University, hopes to follow in the footsteps of Prince Naseem Hamed and Amir Khan as a new wave of British-Asian fighters rise to the top of the sport.
Masoud was due to make his Matchroom debut in October 2023 on the undercard of Jack Catterall-Jorge Linares only to fall ill during fight week and withdraw on Friday evening. His bout with Jose Sanmartin was rescheduled as the headline fight as part of a Newcastle NXTGEN card in November and he battled to a split decision win in a below-par performance.
After two amateur wins over Liam Davies, Masoud was paired with his long-term rival for the first time as a professional but had to wait until November 2024 before the fight finally happened. Masoud went onto a Queensberry show and took the IBO World Super Bantamweight Title from Davies by split decision, though most felt he walked the fight with relative ease.
