What channel is Josh Taylor fight on? Start time, TV details, live stream for Teofimo Lopez showdown

Josh Taylor defends his WBO light-welterweight title in New York on Saturday against former unified lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez.

The 32-year-old Scot will take to the ring for the first time since his contentious victory, via a split decision, over England’s Jack Catterall in February 2022.

Taylor was ordered to defend his belt against former unified lightweight champion Lopez by the WBO in February after a proposed rematch with Jack Catterall had to be postponed.

Taylor knows he was not at his best that night in Glasgow almost 16 months ago, but he is adamant he will be firing on all cylinders as he goes head to head with 25-year-old Brooklyn boxer Lopez at Madison Square Gardens.
