Juan Manuel Lopez's highly anticipated featherweight title fight against Rafael Marquez has been rescheduled for Nov. 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The two were scheduled to fight Sept. 18, but the matchup was postponed several weeks ago after Marquez injured his right thumb during training camp.
Lopez is 29-0 with 26 knockouts and will be making the third defense of the WBO title he won with an impressive seventh-round knockout of Steven Luevano in January. Marquez is 39-5 with 35 knockouts, and is coming off a victory over Israel Vazquez that capped their rivalry.
Marquez said in a statement Monday that his thumb injury did not prevent him from continuing his conditioning, including daily runs.
