Teofimo Lopez (16-0, 12 KOs) has a hard time taking the coronavirus and it is not known when he will be able to return to training. It is possible that the scheduled for September 11 fight against George Kambosos Jr. (19-0, 10 KOs) will be postponed again.

Lopez - Kambosos duel was originally scheduled for June 5th. The fight was postponed for two weeks due to a fight of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Logan Paul. Later, Lopez's tested positive for coronavirus, so the organizers tentatively set a new date for August 14. Several big boxing evenings have already been planned for this day, and this may entail a new postponement of the fight.

At stake there are WBA, WBO, IBF, and WBC Franchise lightweight belts. Lopez has not entered the ring since last year's victory over Vasyl Lomachenko.
