Lopez-Paro for vacant WBO super lightweight title?

Andrew Karlov March 21, 2022, 4 a.m.

Teofimo Lopez (16-1, 12 KOs) can start his first steps in super lightweight with a fight for the world title. The American has a chance to fight for the vacant WBO belt if Josh Taylor will finally confirm that he is relinquishing his titles and moving up to welterweight.

In the latest ranking of the World Boxing Organization, Lopez ranks second, although he has not officially held a single fight in this category. The first place is occupied by Liam Paro (22-0, 13 KOs).

The Australian won the WBO Global belt last year and last fought in December. In his last professional appearance, Lopez lost on points to George Kambosos, which is also originally from Australia.
