This summer, the boxing world is set for another thrilling clash as long-time rivals Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez prepare to settle their scores in an anticipated match on August 16th in Saudi Arabia. According to Lance Pugmire from BoxingScene, both fighters have reportedly signed contracts for this high-stakes bout. The contest will take place at a catch-weight of 145 pounds, with random drug tests conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA). This event follows their respective victories on May 2nd during the Times Square card in New York, where Lopez retained his WBO and Ring Magazine titles, and Haney triumphed over Jose Ramirez.

The rivalry between these two fighters has been brewing for some time now. Their upcoming encounter marks the third significant fight among the so-called "Four Horsemen," a group that also includes Ryan Garcia and Gervonta "Tank" Davis. Notably, Garcia's loss to Rolly Romero shifted the focus away from a potential rematch with Haney towards this showdown with Lopez. Meanwhile, Davis is preparing for a rematch against Lamont Roach Jr., scheduled for the same day in Las Vegas.

Haney's previous bout against Garcia ended in controversy when Garcia tested positive for Ostarine, resulting in a No-Contest ruling despite an initial unanimous decision win for Garcia. Now, all eyes are on Haney and Lopez as they gear up for what promises to be a pivotal moment in their careers.

While official announcements from Turki Alalshikh are still pending, fans eagerly anticipate the broadcast details, likely through DAZN. As anticipation builds, the boxing community remains captivated by this latest chapter in the ongoing saga of the "Four Horsemen."

Awaiting formal confirmation, the matchup between Haney and Lopez looms large on the horizon. With rigorous preparation underway and the stakes higher than ever, this fight could redefine the landscape of lightweight boxing. Fans around the globe will tune in to witness whether Haney can maintain his undefeated record or if Lopez will add another prestigious title to his resume.
