Fight company Triller is making plans to stage the rescheduled Teofimo Lopez-George Kambosos undisputed lightweight championship fight Oct. 17 at Bankwest Stadium in Sydney, Australia, hometown of the title challenger, Triller co-founder Ryan Kavanaugh told ESPN on Friday.
But Lopez’s manager, David McWater, told ESPN that they aren’t willing to fight in Australia, and aren’t on board with the fight being pushed to October from the announced rescheduled date of Aug. 14.
Kavanaugh’s plan is to hold the fight on that Sunday afternoon in Australia at the 38,000-capacity venue, allowing for a primetime Triller Fight Club pay-per-view on Saturday in the U.S.
