Josh Taylor will defend the WBO super-lightweight title in a main-event clash with Teofimo Lopez tonight, as the boxers square off in New York City.
Taylor, 32, previously reigned as undisputed champion in the division, and he retained that status – as well as his unbeaten record – in his most recent fight. That was a controversial decision win against Jack Catterall in February 2022, however, and Taylor vacated two belts and was stripped of another as he pursued a rematch with the Englishman.
