Schofield (19-0, 13 KOs) returns to the ring after needing just 78 seconds to stop former world champion Tevin Farmer in his most recent appearance in June 2025. The undefeated 24-year-old was previously scheduled to challenge Shakur Stevenson for the WBC lightweight title in February 2025, but withdrew on fight week due to illness.
Bahdi (20-0, 15 KOs) also enters Saturday with a perfect professional record. The 32-year-old Canadian scored a breakthrough knockout of highly-touted prospect Ashton Sylve in 2024, and has continued his unbeaten run with three consecutive decision wins since.
The vacant WBA lightweight title will be up for grabs after former champion Gervonta Davis was moved to "champion in recess" due to his ongoing issues outside the ring.
Here's everything to know about Schofield vs. Bahdi, including the full fight card, start time, how to watch and latest odds.
