It's been just over a year since Vasily Lomachenko (15-2), a three-weight champion and one of the most potent pound-for-pound boxers in the world, lost his WBA (Super), WBO, and The Ring lightweight belts to Lopez.
The 33-year-old has made it his ambition to not just win them back, but to become the undisputed king of the ring.
Former IBF belt holder Commey (30-3), by some distance the larger man, lost his title to López two years ago, and will take heart from George Kambosos Jr.'s shock victory a fortnight ago.
And there's plenty of intrigue around the co-feature too. Jared Anderson, who's been tipped by Tyson Fury as a future heavyweight world champion, hopes to continue his ascent as he faces Oleksandr Teslenko.
It's set to be a very special evening at Madison Square Garden, and you can watch all of the action unfold, no matter where you are. Follow our guide below to watch a Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Richard Commey live stream online from anywhere.

This makes everyday tasks like online shopping and banking much safer, and many people choose to use one for that reason alone.
