What channel is Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez? Live stream, TV channel and ring walk time for Tartan Tornado clash
Scots boxing champion Josh Taylor will bring his 15-month absence from the ring to an end against Teofimo Lopez as he looks to make a statement in New York City.
Undefeated Taylor has been out of action for the last 15 months when he retained the undisputed super-lightweight titles against Jack Catterall in Glasgow. However, the result was mired in controversy with some fans and pundits stating the decision should have went the way of the challenger inside the Hydro. A rematch was lined up between the two but Taylor suffered an injury and the Scot later vacated two of his belts and was stripped of another.
However, after the bout fell through earlier this year Taylor will finally return and defend the WBO belt against former lightweight champion Lopez. The American comes into the bout off the back of two wins in the super-lightweight division against Pedro Campa in August and Sandor Martin in December.
