The star is hoping to become a three-weight world champion.
Teofimo Lopez is preparing to face Rolando Romero for the WBA welterweight title on August 22.
Their bout will now mark the start of Lopez’s new multi-fight partnership with broadcasting giants DAZN.
The news comes days after DAZN announced an agreement with Premier Boxing Champions to promote the clash.
Lopez said: “This is the beginning of a new era for ‘The Takeover’.
“DAZN understands the vision I have for my career and gives me the opportunity to pursue the biggest fights against the best available opponents.
“It starts August 22 at 147 pounds. Rolly has the belt, and I’m coming to take it.”
The star enters the fight seeking redemption after losing his junior-lightweight title to Shakur Stevenson in January.
Britton Hardin, Head of Boxing, North America at DAZN, said: “Teofimo Lopez is one of boxing’s most compelling talents, and we are excited to welcome him to DAZN through this exclusive multi-fight partnership.
“Teofimo has built his career by embracing major challenges, and his move to welterweight opens the door to an entirely new series of meaningful fights.
“With the depth of talent and promotional partners now on DAZN, we can provide Teofimo with the platform, flexibility and opponents to continue building his legacy while delivering the matchups boxing fans want to see.”
