Josh Taylor’s Next Fight Against Teofimo Lopez at Madison Square Garden Theater in NYC

Scottish boxer Josh Taylor recently announced that he will defend his WBO super-lightweight championship against Teofimo Lopez at Madison Square Garden Theater in New York on June 10. Even though Taylor was hoping to come face to face with his opponent, Lopez virtually appeared at the event. Taylor is taking it as a victory for him in the first stage of the pre-fight mind games.

Taylor believes that Lopez is mentally fragile and can use this to his advantage during the fight. He noted that Lopez is putting a lot of pressure on himself by talking too much nonsense, and his last fight left him questioning his skills. Nonetheless, Taylor is aware that Lopez is an elite fighter and is preparing for a hard 12 rounds against him.
