“No, that’s not true because I had prior contracts away from my purse that were signed from my side but not honored. They were never honored, they were never counter sold on their behalf. So, you know that was part of that whole saga. These are things that need to be sorted out as well.” 

Both the fighters have had months of preparation going into the fight. Hence, fans will expect a delight when Teofimo ‘The Takeover’ Lopez steps into the ring to defend his IBF/WBA/WBC Franchise/WBO lightweight titles against his Australian opponent.
