British boxing is throwing it all at the wall to see what hangs this afternoon (Saturday, May 27, 2023), and while we can’t quite cover everything, some crowd-friendly dates mean we can at least cover the two biggest fights of the weekend: Luis Alberto’s defense Lopez for the Featherweight Championship against Michael Conlan and Mauricio Lara with Lee Wood.
MMAmania.com He will be providing live coverage of both major events. Lopez and Conlan are expected to walk around 4 p.m. ET ESPN+ (Watch it here), with Lara and Wood squared off near 5 p.m. ET on DAZN.
After scoring a long streak of upsets, López became the latest Mexican player to upend the scenario in Britain by issuing a majority decision on a happy Josh Warrington in December 2022. Lara preceded him in the effort by smashing Warrington in 2021, then winning his first world title with an erasure Wood from behind in February 2023.
He ended up losing that title to Libra, but Wood remains eligible to win it.
