Pedraza to face Lopez on Dec. 10 in New York

Unofficial information four weeks ago that Teofimo Lopez (17-1, 13 KOs) should return to New York on December 10 in an interesting fight. The former lightweight leader made a successful welterweight debut in mid-August, knocking out Pedro Campa in the seventh round. Now he has to perform at the arena of the famous Madison Square Garden.

Lopez will compete Jose Pedraza (29-4-1, 14 KOs), former two-weight world champion who recently drew with Richard Commey. Both sides reached an agreement. Dave McWater, Lopez's manager, confirmed that their contract had already been signed and sent to Pedraza's camp.
