The unified lightweight king of boxing, Teofimo Lopez, is lined up for his comeback fight. The ‘Takeover’ will defend his IBF strap against George Kambosos Jr, the undefeated 135-pounder. The fight is yet to get its official date and location, but the duo has already traded verbal spars with each other.

In a spat on social media, the Australian boxer rolled out a warning for Lopez saying:

“Speed and a warrior heart, I’m coming for you.”

This message took no-time to reach the lightweight champion, and he fired back at ‘Ferocious’ with a deadly one-liner.

“Be careful what you ask for!” he wrote.

Lopez is on a career-high since his last win over Vasyl Lomachenko. That magnificent victory adjudged him as the unified champion at the 135-pound division. Not only that, but ‘The Takeover’ won The Ring magazine’s Fighter of the year for his charismatic performance against Lomachenko.

‘The Takeover’ will confront a rugged contender in the form of Kambosos. As both fighters possess an undefeated streak, it will be interesting to see who scores his first ‘L’ of professional boxing track-record.

The ‘Ferocious’ marches ahead of Lopez with an experience of 3 fights. He has a 19-0 record with 10 wins by T/KO. Kambosos has all the weapons in his artillery to stun Lopez, but breaking the ‘Takeover’s sturdy style will prove to be a tough task for him.
