Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez live stream: fight preview

From the moment the Josh Taylor (19-0) vs Teofimo Lopez (18-1) fight for Taylor's WBO light-welterweight world title was made, boxing insiders have had it pegged as a potential fight-of-the-year contender. There's been plenty of trash talk in the build up to this fascinating world title fight, too, with Lopez making few friends by saying he wants to "kill" Taylor. This is one not to be missed. 

Taylor has plenty to prove after a controversial points win over Jack Catterall in his last outing in February 2022. Few ringside that night for the undisputed light-welterweight championship thought the 32-year-old Scot won the fight, but the 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medallist got the decision and has spent much of the 18 months in between trying to arrange a rematch which has failed to materialise.

Taylor has vacated two belts and been stripped of another in trying to secure that rematch and has instead settled on a super-fight against Teofimo Lopez. The American's trash talking has sparked Taylor to declare: "I'm going to give him a good beating."

But the highly skilled southpaw must shake off ring rust in the early rounds to get on the front foot. This will also be Taylor's first fight under new trainer Joe McNally, after he split with Ben Davison following that disappointing Catterall showing.

Lopez, meanwhile, has laboured in his rebuilding job since losing his lightweight world titles in a stunning upset to George Kambosos Jr in November 2021. The Takeover was a pound-for-pound contender after beating Vasily Lomachenko in October 2020 to hold three of the four main lightweight belts, but put in a laboured showing against Kambosos to miss out on becoming undisputed.

Lopez has since moved up to light-welterweight and though comfortable enough in beating Pedro Campa he struggled to beat Sandor Martin in a split decision that many think he was fortunate to get. "I said it like it is, I wanna kill Josh Taylor," said Lopez, who hits hard despite his opponent being the more natural at the weight. 

Taylor has a superb upper cut on the inside, which did for Jose Ramirez in winning the undisputed title two fights ago, but Lopez will be fired up for this occasion to get his career back on track after overlooking Kambosos in his own disappointing performance. A dynamic puncher with serious skills, Lopez has also fought twice since Taylor's last outing against Catterall and will look to establish his jab early and take rounds from the outset. Whatever happens, it promises to be a great fight. 

The Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez main card is due to start at 8pm EDT / 5pm PDT on Saturday, 10th June, at Madison Square Garden, New York. That's 1am BST (Sunday) / 10am AEST (Sunday). If it's ringwalks you're after, then the main event should get underway at around 10pm EDT / 7pm PDT / 3am BST (Sunday) / 12pm AEST (Sunday).
