  • Date: Saturday, Aug. 13
  • Time: 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT (main event later in show)
  • Where: Resorts World Las Vegas, Las Vegas
  • TV/Stream: DAZN
  • Cost: DAZN is $19.99 per month of $149.99 annually
  • Division: Junior welterweight (140 pounds)
  • Rounds: 12
  • At stake: No major titles
  • Pound-for-pound ranking: None
  • Odds: Lopez 16½-1 favorite (average of multiple outlets)
  • Also on the card: Xander Zayas vs. Elias Espadas, junior middleweights
  • Prediction: Lopez KO 8
  • Background: Lopez returns to the ring for the first time since he was knocked down in the first round and lost a split decision to Australian George Kambosos Jr. last December in New York, which cost the Brooklyn fighter his undisputed 135-pound championship and much luster from his reputation as a rising star. He had won the titles by upsetting pound-for-pound king Vasiliy Lomachenko in his previous fight. He will have been out of the ring for 8½ months when he faces Campa in his first fight as a junior welterweight. The 30-year-old Mexican is a solid all-around fighter but hasn’t faced an opponent near Lopez’s class. He rebounded from a knockout loss to journeyman Carlos Jimenez in 2017 by going 7-0-1 in his next eight fights. That includes a third-round stoppage of previously unbeaten Carlos Sanchez Valadez in March, his most recent bout. Campa has fought only once in the United States, back in 2015.

Adrien Broner set to return against Pedro Campa on Feb. 13

Adrien Broner is set to return after a two-year hiatus against Pedro Campa on Feb. 13.

Adrien Broner’s comeback is reportedly set.

The four-division titleholder, who hasn’t fought for two years, will return against Mexican Pedro Campa in a 10-round junior welterweight fight on Feb. 13 on Showtime, The Athletic reported. The site hasn’t been determined.

Broner (33-4-1, 24 KOs) hasn’t won a fight since he outpointed Adrian Granados in February 2017. Since then, he has lost a decision to Mikey Garcia, drew with Jessie Vargas and lost on points to Manny Pacquiao in January 2019.

Broner once held a welterweight title – after defeating Paulie Malignaggi by a split decision in 2013 – but has had problems at the weight. He’s only 2-3-1 in what were considered welterweight fights.

That’s what makes the move back down to 140 pounds significant, assuming he can make the weight. Broner is 5-1 in fights designated as junior welterweight matchups, although he lost his last fight – to Garcia – at that weight.

“The Problem” has had several legal problems the past few years.

In August, he was ordered by a judge in Cleveland to spend seven days in jail for violating his probation for a 2018 incident in which he was alleged to have sexually assaulted a woman at a nightclub. He was led to jail on the spot.

Broner was initially charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor after a 35-year-old old accused him of the assault in a Cleveland nightclub during the 2018 NBA Finals. However, he pleaded guilty to assault and unlawful restraint, both misdemeanors.

Broner told the judge during the hearing that he was struggling. He said his wife left him and he was in need of counseling, according to Cleveland.com.

Broner’s victim also sued him. A judge in December ordered him to pay her $830,000.

Campa (31-1-1, 21 KOs) has not faced anyone near Broner’s level. The resident of Hermosillo has fought only once outside his country.
