New start time for Luis Alberto Lopez vs Michael Conlan

The lead promoter of Saturday night's title fight between IBF featherweight world champion Luis Alberto Lopez facing Michael Conlan, Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions, announced that they have moved up the start time for the title fight, which is taking place at the SSE Arena in Belfast, Ireland and broadcast globally via ESPN+.

Via Twitter, Warren tweeted that the main event ring walks will occur at 9 PM local time, which is 4 PM EST and 1 PM PST.

The bout will be Lopez's first title defense of his world title since defeating Josh Warrington last year to win the world title. 

For Conlan, this is his first professional fight in Ireland, and his second shot at a world title. His first attempt saw a dramatic knockout loss to Leigh Wood last year.
