Abdullah Mason, one of the most highly-touted prospects in boxing, has a new opponent for his April 5 bout. Following Giovanni Cabrera’s withdrawal from their bout due to injury, Mason will now face Mexican southpaw Carlos Ornelas in a scheduled 10-rounder.
Mason-Ornelas is part of a card headlined by the 10-round main event between heavyweights Richard Torrez Jnr and Guido Vianello. Junior welterweights Lindolfo Delgado and Elvis Rodriguez will meet in a co-feature scheduled for 10 rounds. The entire Torrez-Vianello card will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+.
Mason, 17-0 (15 KOs), who turns 21 on fight day, will be taking part in his first bout scheduled for 10 rounds. He knocked out Manuel Jaimes in four rounds in February on the Denys Berinchyk-Keyshawn Davis bill in New York City. Prior to that, Mason survived two first-round knockdowns against Yohan Vazquez and rallied fiercely to stop his opponent in the second round.
Ornelas, 28-4 (15 KOs), will be the most battle-tested foe of Mason's pro career. The 30-year-old is on a three-fight winning streak since his 10-round decision loss to Rafael Espinoza in January 2021. Ornelas last fought in December 2023, when he picked up a decision win over David Moreno Potrero, who entered that bout with a 16-0-1 record.
