Triller Fight Club Secures Boxing's Most Anticipated Fight Of 2021, Undisputed Champion Teófimo López Against Number One Rated Undefeated Mandatory Challenger George Kambosos Jr.
LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Triller Fight Club (TFC) took another massive step forward in its growing sports and entertainment business when it was today awarded one of the year's most important and anticipated fight between Teófimo López and George Kambosos Jr. by the International Boxing Federation (IBF). It is the latest major step in how the disruptive property is reimagining the sport of boxing for a new, engaged generation. The Fight Club is a partnership between Triller and Snoop Dogg and is spearheaded by Ryan Kavanaugh.
The date and venue will be announced in the coming weeks.
"Triller Fight Club is a new entertainment platform which pairs four quadrant entertainment with boxing that even the staunchest purest will love," Kavanaugh said. "This fight will certainly go down as iconic and TFC will make sure it is presented with entertainment for every audience, from the diehard to the casual fan. These two undefeated stars transcend their sport not just in the U.S. but around the world, and we are working to reshape the vision of excitement and storytelling in a sport we love."
