The world boxing match between Rolando "Rolly" Romero and Teofimo "The Takeover" Lopez is scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 22, 2026, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This bout marks Teofimo Lopez's debut in the welterweight division (147 lbs) following his loss of the WBO junior welterweight title to Shakur Stevenson in January 2026. He will immediately challenge Rolly Romero for the WBA welterweight world title. After suffering a unanimous decision loss to Shakur Stevenson, Lopez opted against taking an easy tune-up fight. He is moving straight up to the 147-pound division with the goal of making history as a world champion in three different weight classes. Lopez has also recently parted ways with his long-time promoter and signed an exclusive multi-fight deal directly with DAZN. Romero won the WBA "Regular" title after knocking out Ryan Garcia in Times Square in May 2025; his status was subsequently elevated to full WBA champion after Jaron Ennis vacated the belt. The fight against Lopez will mark his first title defense following a hiatus of over a year. Rolando "Rolly" Romero enters the ring with a record of 17 wins, 2 losses, and 0 draws, with 13 of those victories coming by way of knockout. Teofimo Lopez enters the ring with a record of 22 wins, 2 losses, and 0 draws, including 13 knockout victories. Statistics indicate that Romero holds an advantage in punching power over Lopez, boasting a knockout percentage of 76% compared to Lopez's 59%. #teofimolopez #rolandoromero #boxing#tinju #sorotantinju#kisahtinju #liveboxing #beritatinju#tinjuduniahariini#japanboxing #amerikaboxing #mexicoboxing #rusiaboxing #asiaboxing #jangkauanluas
