According to Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez will likely face Philadelphia's Teon Kennedy on April 16 in Puerto Rico. Showtime will televise the fight. Lopez (30, 27KOs) returns from a November TKO win over Rafael Marquez. Kennedy (16-0-1, 7KOs) is 3-0, 2KOs since a September 2099 draw with Lante Addy.

"Juan Manuel Lopez is fighting on April 16 in Puerto Rico," said Arum. "We've given Showtime a list of opponents and names and Carl Moretti is working that out with Ken Hershman."
