The long-awaited Lightweight clash will be live worldwide on DAZN\u00a0<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Unified Lightweight Champion\u00a0Te\u00f3fimo L\u00f3pez<\/strong>\u00a0(16-0, 12 KOs) will finally make his maiden title defence of his WBA, IBF, WBO, and The Ring belts against\u00a0George Kambosos Jr\u00a0<\/strong>(19-0, 10 KOs) at Hulu Theater, Madison Square Garden, New York, on Saturday, November 27 \u2013 live worldwide and exclusively on\u00a0DAZN<\/strong>.
\u00a0
Lopez\u2019s first fight since upsetting former champion Vasiliy Lomachenko in October 2020, the Brooklyn native beat the Ukrainian by unanimous decision, taking with him the prized straps and unified crown. Australian Kambosos Jr. comes into the fight as the mandatory IBF challenger, also boasting a perfect record and coming off the back of a split decision win against former IBF Featherweight Champion Lee Selby.

“The time has finally come!” said\u00a0L\u00f3pez<\/strong>.\u00a0“It has been a long wait for Team Takeover. We\u2019ve been in the zone for six months and counting but we\u2019re pleased to be able to finally get this fight on DAZN! The Takeover will show the world once again why we are called ‘The People\u2019s Champ’.”

“It has been a long time coming, I have been patient but ready and I have continued to perfect my craft, leaving no stone unturned to be victorious and win all the belts,” said\u00a0Kambosos Jr<\/strong>. “I\u2019m very excited to be headlining my biggest fight of my life on another great Matchroom card against Teofimo L\u00f3pez\u00a0after earning this opportunity last year by becoming the IBF mandatory and world number 1 on another great Matchroom show. I know they will give this fight the respect it deserves and I will shock the world and be crowned World Champion on November 27 in New York City.\u201d

\u201cI am delighted to be bringing Lopez vs. Kambosas to DAZN and Madison Square Garden,\u201d said Matchroom Sport Chairman\u00a0Eddie Hearn<\/strong>. \u201cThis rivalry has been cooking for a long time and now we finally get to see them put it to bed in the Big Apple.
\u00a0
\u201cTeofimo is one of the big young stars in the sport but George is a hungry proud Aussie who knows that this is the chance to put his name amongst the elite of the game.
\u00a0
\u201cThe Lightweight division will catch fire once again at the end of 2021 with Devin Haney set to defend his WBC crown in December on DAZN after Teofimo and George tangle; the winter schedule on DAZN is unrivaled and this fight is one of the best out there at the end of this year.\u201d\u00a0
\u00a0\u00a0
\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to add this incredible Lightweight clash to our fall fight schedule to close out a busy 2021,\u201d said\u00a0Joseph Markowski<\/strong>, DAZN EVP. \u201cL\u00f3pez is a superstar in the sport of boxing and I\u2019m sure will treat DAZN subscribers worldwide with a magnificent performance on the night. Kambosos is a tough competitor and a real test for the champion. This is one of the hottest divisions of the sport and both men will undoubtedly leave it all in the ring on November 27 and give fight fans globally a night to remember.\u201d
