After Ryan Garcia, Teofimo Lopez has stumbled into Mike Tyson’s Hotboxin podcast, where the 23-year-old opened up on his life and boxing career, before and after becoming a World Champion.
Akin to ‘Iron’ Mike, Lopez has also found success and has become a world champion at an early age. That said, he still has a long way to go in the sport. However, ‘Take Over’ Lopez is already a global superstar and his stardom is completely evident.
In a recent clip, we can see Teofimo Lopez entering Tyson’s Hotboxin studio to shoot their highly anticipated interaction. Meanwhile, he received a grand welcome and Tyson appeared delighted to have the Mexican on his show. Here’s a look at the clip.
