Teofimo Lopez tests positive for COVID-19; fight with George Kambosos delayed to Aug. 14

Lopez was set to defend his WBA, IBF and WBO lightweight titles in Miami

Teofimo Lopez and George Kambosos will have to hope that the third time is the charm after a second postponement to their fight for Lopez's three lightweight titles pushed the clash to Aug. 14. Triller founder Ryan Kavanagh told reporters on Tuesday that Lopez tested positive for COVID-19, pushing the bout off its planned June 19 date. The fight was originally scheduled for June 5, one day before the exhibition clash between Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul. The fight was subsequently delayed two weeks before now facing an additional two month postponement. Lopez is still looking to fight for the first time since upsetting Vasiliy Lomachenko this past October, adding the WBA and WBO titles to the IBF belt he won in a December 2019 knockout of Richard Commey.
