What channel is Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez on? TV and live stream info for Saturday's fight

Josh Taylor returns to the ring in Madison Square Garden, New York on Saturday night.

The Scot hasn't fought since a controversial split decision win over Jack Catterall in Glasgow last February.

A rematch between the pair was expected, but Taylor has now moved on from the fight as he puts his 140lb titles on the line against former unified lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez.

The pair have been butting heads for weeks in the lead-up to the fight as Lopez looks to become the first man to beat Taylor in 20 professional bouts.

Here is more info on the fight and how to watch it:

Quotes corner?

Taylor: "There is genuine dislike here, he's been disrespectful, so a lot of words he's said I'm going to make him pay for. You'll see a Josh Taylor win, possibly by knockout nice and early as well.

"For me this is a dream come true. Starting out as a professional or even as a young kid you always dream of coming over Stateside and fighting in venues like this."

Lopez: "It means everything. What is a takeover if he doesn't take over the guys that are the king pin of the division? When it comes to Josh Taylor, he is the guy and he's the guy I have to beat to be the greatest.

"This is what we aim for all the time. Practice makes improvement and we've improved since my last fight and we're ready to put on that show."

When and where is the fight?

The fight is in Madison Square Garden in New York.
