From how I understand it, Triller played a large part in the fight being postponed numerous times now, with the last attempt being the most egregious.
Here is a brief timeline of notable dates and the difficulties faced in putting together the fight:
"Feb. 25: Triller surprised the boxing world by winning a purse bid for the fight, bidding slightly more than $6 million, far more than Matchroom Boxing's $3.5 million second-place bid.
June 5: The original "official" date for the fight, which was then pushed to avoid having to share the weekend with the June 6 exhibition between Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul.
June 19: The second "official" date. Postponed after Lopez tested positive for COVID-19.
Aug. 14: The third "official" date was confirmed by Triller only to be changed later at the discretion of the promoters.
Sept. 11: While never officially booked, Lopez vs. Kambosos was briefly discussed as being held on the undercard of the Triller pay-per-view headlined by Vitor Belfort vs. Oscar De La Hoya, a fight that didn't happen when De La Hoya had to be replaced by 58-year-old Evander Holyfield after testing positive for COVID-19.
October: Various dates and locations were pitched for the month of October, including Triller attempting to hold the event in Kambosos' native Australia as a sort of punishment for Lopez costing the promotion money because of his June COVID-19 diagnosis. The IBF stepped in to prevent this move.
Oct. 4: The fourth "official" date was locked down after an attempt to set the fight for Oct. 5, only for Triller to realize that date would conflict with a potential Yankees vs. Red Sox playoff game. After moving the fight to a Monday during the NFL season, Kavanaugh was surprised to learn the event would go head-to-head with Monday Night Football.
Oct. 16: Triller's latest attempt at a date change was made without Kambosos agreeing, leading to the current situation with Kambosos attempting to have Triller held in default."

It's ridiculous, and the only reason Triller was able to get away with it for so long was because the fight purses were so large. Personally, I don't think this is a duck by Kambosos. In a sport where you're contractually obligated to make a certain weight, it's wholly unprofessional for a promotional company to continually switch dates like this.
I feel bad for the fact that both fighters will miss out on the payday, but I hope that Triller did lose millions of dollars in sunken promotional costs for this.
We making announcements without dates now.
Normally not a big deal, but with the date fukkery this has already had, this shyt might as well have just had 2022 at the bottom.

Triller need to stick to washed up ex fighters, celebrities and Versus battles.
Leave the real fights to the promoters.
Clowns was really tryna have this shyt on a Monday.
