Teofimo Lopez shared some exciting news on social media. He posted a video with his dad where he talked about how God helps him on his journey. He said he doesn’t need a group of people with him because he is good enough on his own. In the caption of the post, he confirmed that he will be fighting Josh Taylor on June 10th. The duo will be fighting for the WBO Super Lightweight title.

The announcement of Teofimo Lopez’s fight with Josh Taylor was delayed because Madison Square Garden was reportedly not available. The New York Knicks and Rangers are going to the playoffs, and the Garden is being used for their games. Lopez’s last fight was in December 2022, where he won by a split decision against Sandor Martin.

After the fight, he questioned if he still had what it takes to win. Many people are looking forward to the Lopez vs Taylor fight. The news was shared by boxing promoter Micheal Benson, who posted the news on his Twitter. He wrote in his caption- “Teofimo Lopez has now confirmed that the planned date for his fight with Josh Taylor is June 10th.” The news came out as a treat to boxing fans, especially after Lopez’s father recently called out Gervonta Davis for fighting “nobodies”.

Fans react to the confirmation of Teofimo Lopez vs Josh Taylor

While there are some fans who are not completely sold on the match-up, the majority of the fans are excited to see the two fighters in action. According to a user named @HenkeKingOKings, Lopez’s recent performances have been subpar, and he is concerned about the size difference between the two fighters.

However, @TrolljngSaint is thrilled that boxing is finally starting to look fun. With the confirmation of the fight between Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis and talks about Fury vs Usyk, this year is very eventful for boxing.
