Sherdog’s Weekend Boxing Preview

When: July 19
How to Watch: ESPN+ 10 p.m. ET
Why You Should Care: Because Teofimo Lopez’s takeover plans are all lined up, he just needs three wins to make them happen.

In modern boxing, no matter how good or marketable you are the path to fighting certain champions, or to earning a title shot of any kind really, is rarely clear. So, it is pretty unique that Fortnite dancing, 13-0 with 11-KO-having Brooklynite Lopez has a straight, linear path to the man he’s been both trash talking and choosing opponents to prepare for, pound-for-pound king Vasiliy Lomachenko.
