Teofimo Lopez Could Headline Historic Boxing Event at Alcatraz

According to The Ring, WBO & The Ring junior welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez is in talks to headline a groundbreaking boxing event at Alcatraz, the infamous former prison.

The event is tentatively scheduled for June or July, though the final date is yet to be confirmed.

Lopez’s potential opponent is IBF junior welterweight champion Richardson Hitchins, but as of now, no fight deal has been finalized.

This bout would mark the first of three fights Lopez will take part in under the Riyadh Season & Top Rank collaboration. The next two events are expected to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
