Two former champions face off tonight in a super lightweight title fight all boxing fans will love. Josh Taylor (19-0, 13 KOs), the still undefeated former unified super lightweight champion, will defend his WBO belt against Teofimo Lopez, the former three-belt lightweight champion. These are two titans of the lighter divisions fighting primarily for honor and bragging rights, rather than belts.
Josh Taylor unified the light heavyweight titles in a 2021 fight against Jose Carlos Ramirez. He defended them once in 2022 with a narrow split decision win over Jack Catterall, then vacated three of them because he didn’t want to pay the sanctioning fees or be beholden to the sanctioning bodies’ mandatory defenses. Teofimo Lopez (18-1, 13 KOs), won three belts in a unanimous decision victory over Vasiliy Lomachenko in 2020, then lost them all in his next fight against George Kambosos Jr. Lopez is going up in weight to try and grab some titles back, one at a time.
Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez is tonight, June 10, at 8:00 p.m. ET. The main fight will likely start at 11 p.m. Here’s everything you need to know to watch boxing from anywhere in the world.
