This Saturday, May 27, 2023, on ESPN+, is the fight between Michael Conlan and Luis Alberto Lopez. Michael Conlan will be the second opponent for Luis Alberto “El Venado” Lopez. In a 12-round featherweight fight, the IBF Title will be on the line at Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK’s SSE Arena.
Conlan, a 31-year-old Irish boxing prodigy (18-1, 9 KOs), has another opportunity to win the world title. The gold medalist at the 2015 World Amateur Championships and bronze medalist at the 2012 Olympics was not as fortunate when he was unable to defeat Leigh Wood in 2022 because of a last-round stoppage that ended his hopes of winning the world championship.
Lopez, a 29-year-old Latino champion from Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico (27-2, 15 KOs), has been a performer for seven years. His most recent fight, a majority decision victory over Josh Warrington on December 10, 2022, saw him win the IBF Featherweight Championship, his first ever world championship, making this fight with Conlan his first title defence.
Conlan, a young man from Northern Ireland who has been boxing professionally for six years out of Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, is a close buddy of none other than Conor McGregor. He enthralled the spectators in his final match, which took place on December 10, 2022, by technical knockoutly defeating Karim Guerfi. He’s going to finish Lopez the same way.
Nick Ball vs. Ludomo Lumati for the WBC Silver featherweight title, Anthony Cacace vs. Damian Wrzesinski for the IBO super-featherweight title, and Pierce O’Leary vs. Alan Ciorceri for the WBC International super-lightweight title are just a few of the high-stakes contests that will be featured on the card.
