WBO Top Contender

Albert Bell was the number 1 ranked junior lightweight contender by the WBO from August 2023 to August 2024 and never received a title shot in that time. He requested to fight number 3 ranked Archie Sharp in November 2023 for an Interim belt. The request was denied by the WBO in January 2024. Stating that "Super Champion" Emanuel Navarrete was not required to fight any mandatory challengers until February 2025. "An interim championship and/or elimination bout is not warranted nor justified."[4] Shortly after rejecting this fight, the WBO then skipped over Bell, and sanctioned the number 2 ranked Oscar Valdez to fight number 4 ranked Liam Wilson for the Interim belt. In September 2024 Bell was replaced as number 1 with Charly Suarez, and only 6 months later (March 2025) Albert Bell had dropped in the rankings all the way to 15th. Despite winning every fight.[5]

WBO President Gustavo Olivieri [@OlivieriLaw] (December 23, 2024). "Mr. Bell must face rated opposition. Unfortunately, that has not been the case" (Tweet) – via Twitter.

IBF Title Eliminator

Bell moved up to lightweight and won both his fights in 2025. In February 2026, the IBF ordered a world title eliminator for Albert Bell to fight Lucas Bahdi. The winner would fight champion Raymond Muratalla.[6] Bell accepted, Bahdi did not, and days later the IBF ordered Bell against Andy Cruz.[7]
