Lopez (20-1, 13 KOs), a two-weight Ring champion who grew up in South Florida, captured the IBF lightweight world title with a second-round knockout against Richard Commey in December 2019. The following year, he triumphed over pound-for-pound king Vasiliy Lomachenko to claim the WBA, WBC and WBO belts titles. He lost the belts in a shocking upset to George Kambosos Jr. in November 2021.

In June 2023, Lopez painted a fistic masterpiece when he upset former undisputed champion Josh Taylor to capture the Ring belt. He defended his crown with a unanimo us decision over former amateur rival Jamaine Ortiz in February. The fight will be shown live on ESPN +
