Wilson Mascarenhas vs Patrick Okine WBC Silver Championship

Wilson “Ill Will” Mascarenhas (10-1, 4 KOs) is set to make his return to the ring for the second consecutive month, facing off against Patrick “The Mallet” Okine (21-6-2, 18 KOs) this Saturday at Bally’s Twin River Lincoln Casino for the WBC USA Silver Super Lightweight Championship. Mascarenhas, hailing from New Bedford, demonstrated his prowess in his recent bout at the same venue in February, swiftly dispatching Braulio Rodriguez in just one round. His impressive performance caught the attention of CES Boxing founder Jimmy Burchfield, Sr., who deemed Mascarenhas ready for a shot at his first title.

Rodriguez, a seasoned veteran who had previously shared the ring with notable fighters like Ryan Garcia and Chris “Pitufo” Diaz, was convincingly defeated by Mascarenhas, showcasing the latter's readiness for championship contention. Now, Mascarenhas faces a formidable opponent in Patrick Okine, a relentless Ghanaian puncher with a reputation for bringing the fight to his opponents. Okine boasts an impressive record of 18 knockouts in 21 wins and has faced off against former world champions such as Lee Selby and Emmanuel Tagoe, as well as tough contenders like Jeremia Nakathila and Cletus Seldin.

Before Mascarenhas can set his sights on a world title, he must overcome the challenge presented by Okine for the WBC USA Silver title—a task he approaches with utmost seriousness. The bout marks the beginning of what Mascarenhas hopes will be a successful title run, with the opportunity to claim the WBC USA Silver title on the line at Bally's Twin River Lincoln Casino on Saturday night.
