Teofimo Lopez's next fight reportedly set to take place at surprise and unique location
WBO and Ring Magazine super lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez is set to return to the ring, but the location will raise eyebrows within the boxing world.
Reports from The Ring are suggesting Lopez will make a defence of his titles in June or July with the historic Alcatraz Prison being the possible venue.
This bout will be a part of a three-fight deal with Top Rank, the Ring Magazine and Riyadh Season, and His Excellency Turki Alalshikh teased the possibility of a fight night taking place at historic sites all over the world.
“What do you think if there is [an] event, fight in Alcatraz jail one day?,” Alalshikh asked ESPN.com's Mike Coppinger.
“It is like a museum now. You know, sometimes I get in my mind I want different places to do [fights]. Sometimes in mountains, maybe someday in the Pyramids in Mexico, someday in [the] Eiffel Tower in France, [The] Coliseum in Italy. You understand this concept?”
While an opponent has not been rumoured for Lopez's next fight, this Saturday's fight between Jack Catterall and Arnold Barboza Jr could serve up a candidate.
The pair clash live on DAZN at Manchester's Co-Op Live with the winner being crowned the WBO interim super lightweight champion and the mandatory challenger for Lopez's world title.
