Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says he’s reluctant to put the March 15th fight between WBO light welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez and former IBF champ Subriel Matias on PPV due to piracy issues.

Promoter Eddie Hearn was pleased with Jack Catterall’s 12-round unanimous victory over Regis Prograis on Saturday night, and he’s now ready to put Catterall in a title fight against the winner of the Liam Paro vs.
