Triller Fight Club CEO revealed today that he’s in the working stages to move the October 4th fight involving four-belt lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez and his IBF mandatory challenger to October 16th to avoid a schedule conflict with the Monday Night Football game between the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers on that same date.
Teofimo Lopez is giving up on the idea of giving Vasily Lomachenko, and he says he’ll be moving up to 140 to challenge Josh Taylor for his four belts in November if possible.
Teofimo Lopez has again declared the fact that he has zero interest in a return fight with Vasyl Lomachenko, the man Lopez dethroned to take the world lightweight titles in October of last year.
Teofimo Lopez and his IBF mandatory George Kambosos Jr. are finally about to meet on October 5th at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder three-match isn’t the only fight causing a whole heap of frustrating times. The ongoing saga with the lightweight bout between champ Teofimo Lopez and IBF mandatory challenger George Kambosos Jr has just about reached the point of ridicule.
Vasily Lomachenko (15-2, 11 KOs) showed the world that he’s back and ready to return to his throne with his ninth round destruction job against Masayoshi Nakatani (19-2, 13 KOs) on June 26th in Las Vegas.
Teofimo Lopez has reportedly passed his COVID 19 test from last Wednesday. He’ll now be starting his training camp for his title defense against mandatory challenger George Kambosos Jr on August 14th or September 11th.
Ricky Hatton believes that Vasily Lomachenko is back before his surprising defeat last October against Teofimo Lopez. Last weekend, the two-time Olympic gold medalist Lomachenko looked better than ever in putting on a masterclass performance in beating Masayoshi Nakatani (19-2, 13 KOs) by a ninth round knockout in the headliner on ESPN+ at the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
IBF/WBA/WBC Franchise/WBO lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez (16-0, 12 KOs) has tested positive for COVID 19 on Tuesday, and his fight with George Kambosos Jr has now been moved from this Saturday night on June 19th to August 14th on Triller PPV.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says he’s interested in putting on a rematch between Teofimo Lopez and Vasily Lomachenko on ESPN pay-per-view next, provided the two fighters win their next fights.
