<p>Former&nbsp;Vasiliy Lomachenko title challenger Jamaine Ortiz is also in action, as are two Olympians further down the bill.</p>

<p>Here's a look at the undercard before Lopez and Gonzalez square off, including weight divisions, fighter records and viewing information.</p>

<h2>Luis Alberto Lopez vs. Joet Gonzalez&nbsp;undercard</h2>

<h3><a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/uk/boxing/boxer-profile/2-contestant-87241… Zayas</a> vs. <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/uk/boxing/boxer-profile/2-contestant-79332…; target="_blank">Roberto Valenzuela Jr.</a></h3>

<ul>
<li><b>Division/Weight</b>: Super welterweight</li>
<li><b>Zayas record</b>: 16-0</li>
<li><strong>Valanzuela Jr</strong><b><strong> </strong>record</b>: 21-4</li>
<li><b>Belts at stake</b>: N/A</li>
</ul>

<p>Zayas, who signed for Top Rank as a 16-year-old and has been called "Puerto Rico’s next superstar" by promotion boss Bob Arum, faces a step up in experience against Valenzuela.</p>

<p>Now 20, Zayas has good reason to call Valenzuela a "Mexican warrior" because of his record of 20 knockouts from 21 wins. The 24-year-old has lost four times.</p>

<h3><a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/uk/boxing/boxer-profile/2-contestant-81916…; target="_blank">Omar Aguilar</a> vs. <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/uk/boxing/boxer-profile/2-contestant-75146…; target="_blank">Julio Luna</a></h3>

<ul>
<li><b>Division/Weight</b>:&nbsp;Welterweight</li>
<li><b>Aguilar record</b>: 25-1</li>
<li><b>Luna record</b>: 20-1-2</li>
<li><b>Belts at stake</b>: N/A</li>
</ul>

<p>An all-Mexican contest pits two fighters who are looking to earn successive wins a year on from suffering career setbacks</p>

<p>Luna lost by decision to Giovani Santillan in August 2022 – the same month Aguilar lost his unbeaten record to&nbsp;Lindolfo Delgado. Luna then beat Hassam Valenzuela in three rounds in March, before Aguilar defeated Cristian Sonora Soltero in two in May.</p>

<p>Known as 'The Technician', Ortiz returns for the first time since taking Vasiliy Lomachenko to the scorecards in a unanimous decision defeat last October.</p>

<p>His opponent in a 10-rounder is a 30-year-old Mexican with 20 knockouts to his name who has only been stopped once.</p>

<p>All of Colombian Valdes' three defeats have come in his past five fights. The 25-year-old beat Angel Antonio Contreras in April and takes on Villa over eight rounds.</p>

<p>Californian opponent Quiroz scored a first-round knockout of&nbsp;Gabriel Smith in April and has won two of his four previous bouts following a 2019 defeat to Ortiz.</p>
