Claggett, who has a 38-7-2 record with 26 KOs, will be competing in his first world title fight and is seen as a considerable underdog. The event starts at 10 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN+. Lopez has expressed confidence, aiming for a knockout, while Claggett hopes to pull off a major upset. The undercard features notable fighters including Robeisy Ramirez and Nico Ali Walsh.
