The multitalented and beloved Mario
Lopez has successfully lent his hand to almost every facet
of the entertainment industry. He began his illustrious career over
three decades ago as a child actor and became a household name in
his breakout role as Slater on Saved by the Bell.
Since then, Mario has won two Emmys. He is the host of NBC's
"Access Hollywood," and currently hosts iHeartRadio national
podcasts "iHeartRadio Countdown with Mario
Lopez" and the ESPN boxing podcast, "The 3 Knockdown Rule."
In addition, Lopez created and serves as executive producer of the
Netflix scripted series "The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia." He is also producing and
starring on the reboot of "Saved By The Bell" for NBC's new
streaming service Peacock, as well as the executive producer of
"Menudo" reboot, and is the producer and lead of the Lifetime
Christmas film "FelizNaviDAD.
"I've been watching boxing since I was a child with my father
and grandfather. It's one of the few sports where Latino's are
represented across the board, so it was always a sense of pride for
me. This inspired me to begin training at Freddie Roach's Wild Card
Gym several years ago. To have the opportunity to combine my
passion for boxing with hosting is truly a career milestone, and
for it to be at such a legendary event, this is a once in a
lifetime opportunity and I couldn't be more proud to be a part of
it," said Lopez.
The fight is the first event of a series of live sporting events
produced under Mike Tyson's Legends
Only League, a sports venture owned by Tyson and Eros
Innovations.
"There was no better host for this fight than Mario. He is a
lifelong boxing fan, and he's just as excited for Tyson's return to
the ring as we are. We know he'll bring the passion and enthusiasm
this once-in-a-lifetime event deserves," said CEO of Eros
Innovations, Sophie Watts.

November 28th, 2020 at 9:00pm ET with the three-hour main card on
