Lopez was called out by Lomachenko for a rematch after his upset unanimous decision victory over Ukrainian two-time Olympic champion and pound-for-pound star Vasyl Lomachenko. Fellow American lightweight Devin Haney, as well as Kambosos, who had defeated Lee Selby to become the mandatory challenger to Lopez's IBF title, both called him out.

Lopez's relationship with Top Rank deteriorated after Top Rank offered him $1.25 million to fight Kambosos Jr., which was less than his contract minimum. The two sides were unable to reach an agreement, so it was decided by a purse bid. The fight between the American boxer and the Australian fighter was won by Triller for $6 million.

Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr: Storylines

The match was originally set for June 5, 2021, at LoanDepot Park in Miami, featuring an exhibition battle between Kevin McBride and Evander Holyfield. In May 2021, the fight was rescheduled for June 19, with Holyfield vs. McBride being dropped from the undercard, before being postponed for August 14 since Teofimo Lopez was tested positive for COVID-19.

A replacement site had to be announced as the Miami Marlins had a game planned at LoanDepot Park that day. Triller sought to organize the battle in the challenger Kambosos' native nation of Australia, only adding to the problems. This was contentious since Australia was under lockdown at the time, forcing Lopez to come at least two weeks ahead of time and lose weight while in government-mandated isolation. The IBF sided with the US fighter and rejected the motion.
