Last night the American once again defended his WBO championship belt
WBO Light Welterweight World Champion Teofimo Lopez (21–1, 13 KO) called for a fight Isaac Cruz (26-2-1, 18 KO), holder of the WBA title in the same weight category.
Let us remind you that on the night of June 30, the American boxer successfully defended his title again, defeating Canadian Steve Claggett by unanimous decision.
Earlier in April, renowned promoter Eddie Hearn said he would like to organize a unification fight for the WBA and IBF light welterweight title between Cruz and Sabriel Matias.
26-year-old Mexican Cruz won his title on March 30 in a duel with Rolando Romero. Last fall, the possibility of Isaac fighting against Ukrainian Denis Berinchyk was discussed.
