The Brooklyn fighter was supposed to fight IBF mandatory challenger Kambosos in June on a Triller show but came down with Covid weeks before the fight.
It was put back to August, and then two different dates in October, while promoters Triller aimed to find a suitable night to place the fight.
Eventually, Triller had their rights to promote the fight taken away by the IBF, and the next highest bidder was Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom and DAZN, who quickly put together a date and venue.

What have they said?
“[At my gym] we put up a photo of us at the face-off,” Kambosos said.
“I looked into the eyes of a soulless kid who is on a leash. I saw that he can’t do anything by himself.
“That’s why I crossed his eyes out because I don’t need to look into his eyes. I saw what I saw at the face-off and that’s why he’s never been the same since then.”
Lopez has said: “He’s in trouble, a lot of trouble. He’s going to be massacred.
“One round (is all it will last) because all that talking doesn’t work.
“You (Kambosos) have been in two fights that were split decisions against Mickey Bey and Lee Selby. I ain’t Mickey Bey. I ain’t Lee Selby.”
