They will face off on December 10 at Madison Square Garden.


Teofimo Lopez faces a last minute opponent.

Sandor Martin replaced Jose Pedraza for the main event against Lopez on Dec. 10 at Madison Square Garden, according to Boxing Scene. Pedraza reportedly withdrew due to a non-Covid-19 illness he contracted during training camp.

Pedraza is expected to resume operations in the first months of 2023.

Martin last fought back in April where he recorded a 10-round unanimous decision victory over Jose Felix. But before that, he recorded his best career win when he upset Mikey Garcia with a 10-round majority decision victory.

Lopez’s fight with Martin will mark her second super lightweight contest. He made a successful debut in August against Pedro Campa, whom he technically knocked out in the seventh round.

Lopez progressed after losing his three lightweight titles to George Kambosos Jr in November 2021.
