5, May 25

Teofimo Lopez successfully retained his WBO light welterweight title against Arnold Barboza Jr. at Times Square to kick off May in style as he chases bigger fights.

The American ended his near-year-long wait to return to the ring with one of the better performances at The Ring's Fatal Fury supercard in New York City.

Victory against a challenger who upset Jack Catterall - arguably the division's top operator without a title - paves the way for a potential unification dance next.

But just who is Teofimo Lopez? Here, DAZN News profiles the star, including his personal stats, fight history and professional record, as well as his next bout.

He has recorded statement victories against Richard Commey, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Josh Taylor, earning or defending titles against all three men.

When is Teofimo Lopez's next fight?

Teofimo Lopez's next fight is currently unconfirmed, with the star most recently fighting against Arnold Barboza Jr. at Times Square in New York City.

The result could tee up a rematch with Kambosos, and the chance to avenge his lone career loss, with the Australian likely receptive to another dance.
