Join us for live coverage of an intriguing main event in New York
Teofimo Lopez continues his recovery trail — and a step up to a new division — as he faces the crafty Spaniard Sandor Martin.
Lopez (17-1-0, 13-KOs) was flying high after his shock win over the great Vasyl Lomachenko, then came down to earth with a difficult loss to George Kambosos. He responded to that in part by stepping up to 140lbs, where he is now seeking to establish himself as a top contender. Sandor Martin, 40-2-0, 30 KOs, took his time in breaking out of the European scene, but he’s seeking to follow up on an upset win over Mikey Garcia with another shock here. Lopez will be expected to win, but it is by no means a foregone conclusion.
This page will provide live round-by-round coverage of the main event. The fight will be available on ESPN and ESPN+, with prelims starting at 7p.m. ET on ESPN+ only and the main card on both channels at around 9 p.m. ET (following the Heisenman Trophy presentation ceremony on ESPN). Main event ringwalks expected around 11 p.m but stay tuned here for the latest on that.
