It adds a lot of star power to Loma’s corner. However, his opponent Teofimo Lopez has also got big names on his side. WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is backing him up and ‘The Gypsy King’ believes that Lomachenko won’t defeat ‘El Brooklyn’ Lopez.

While we get closer to the lightweight thriller, Lomachenko and Lopez continue to thrill the fans. Not only that, but their star supporters are also adding some thrill to the mix by revealing their respective sides. Meanwhile, the final action will take place when the bell rings with Loma and Lopez standing opposite each other inside the ring.

The winner of the fight will take away all the lightweight titles (WBA, WBO, and IBF). Thus, none of the champions can afford to lose the fight instead of adding more to their name.
