Teofimo Lopez vs Steve Claggett
Tonight’s boxing spotlight features two compelling matchups: Teofimo Lopez defending his super-lightweight world title against Steve Claggett and Juan Francisco Estrada facing Jesse Rodriguez.
Teofimo Lopez returns to the ring for only the second time since his brief retirement following his world title victory over Josh Taylor last year. After successfully defending his WBO belt against Jamaine Ortiz in February, Lopez, at 26 years old, aims to extend his winning streak to five consecutive victories against Steve Claggett in Florida.
Estrada has been absent from the ring since his thrilling defence of the super-flyweight world title against Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez in their rematch 18 months ago. Tonight’s event also features notable bouts involving Sunny Edwards and Ramla Ali. Here’s a comprehensive overview of the fight cards and what to expect. **Lopez’s Journey Back to the Ring
