Josh Taylor has confirmed that he will face Teofimo Lopez in New York City on June 10 in his first fight since controversially beating Jack Catterall last year.
The former undisputed champion clung on to his belts by the skin of his teeth after being dropped by Catterall in his homecoming fight back in February of 2022, but was unable to keep all but one of them during his time away from the ring since. He had been due to rematch his fellow Brit this year, but an injury cost the pair that second meeting.
And now Taylor will return to America for the first time since his undisputed title win to face former unified lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez. The pair will meet on June 10 at the Hulu Theatre in Madison Square Garden with the Scot's super-lightweight WBO belt on the line.
