Lopez is returning to the ring after a very unexpected loss last November to George Cambosos Jr. by a split decision that toppled him from the top of the lightweight division. The Brooklyn native trains in New Jersey. His opponent, 30-year-old puncher Pedro Campa, has not lost in his last eight fights since 2017.
