On June 10, 2023, Teofimo Lopez turned heads, not for winning the WBO super lightweight title, but for his post-victory announcement. He said he planned to retire at 25 but now wants to keep boxing in order to face Devin Haney. Born in the U.S. but of Honduran heritage, Lopez stunned everyone with his retirement news. He even gave up his newly won title.

As days went by, questions arose about the vacant WBO title. The organization gave Lopez 24 hours to decide on the title’s fate. Otherwise, they would move on with Arnold Barboza Jr’s fight against Jose Ramirez for the empty championship. Then, in 24 hours, Teofimo Lopez informed that he will be retaining his title and regrets retirement. Now, ‘The Takeover’ is back to prove his glory and recently grabbed fans’ attention. However, this was not because of his boxing prowess but an adorable moment with his son in the ring.

Furthermore, fans are buzzing about Teofimo Lopez’s young son appearing in the boxing ring.
