Keith Thurman marks his return to boxing after a 22-month lay-off when he defends his WBA welterweight title against Josesito Lopez.

The undefeated American fights for the first time since his March 2017 victory over Danny Garcia, determined to remind the welterweight division he is among its very elite.

Thurman hopes to be part of some huge fights in 2019, competing in a weight bristling with talent and countless fight of the year candidates.

But first he must find a way past 34-year-old Lopez.
