August 13 at the Top Rank evening in Las Vegas Teofimo Lopez (16-1, 12 KOs) will face Pedro Campoy (33-1-1, 22 KOs), according to columnist Mike Coppinger. Contracts for this fight after lengthy negotiations were finally signed.
For the American, this will be his debut in super lightweight. Thus, the 24-year-old Lopez will have his first fight since last year's loss to George Kambosos. As a result of this fight, the New Yorker lost all his lightweight championship belts.
A native of Mexico, Campa last boxed in August last year. The fight was scheduled for ten rounds. The upcoming evening of boxing in the United States will be broadcast on ESPN.
