Teofimo Lopez, and Devin Haney, are the reigning champions of the stacked lightweight division. The two have stormed their way up in the division by beating highly competitive combatants. However, the debate of the best lightweight boxer on the planet will never really end until they touch gloves in the ring as reigning champions.

Both the undefeated champions have expressed their interest in fighting for the undisputed belt. Moreover, they share a cosmic beef with each other, taking verbal jabs at several interviews, podcasts, and their social handles.

Recently, Lopez, who was in an interview with ESPN Ringside, shared an insight into how he envisioned a fight between him and the ‘Dream’ going.

“What I can say is, they’ll start off as a technical fight. But, in the mid-rounds, towards the ending rounds, I’ll put him on his a**,” said the ‘Takeover’.

He continued, “That’s really what I’d say, man, I can’t. That was the type of person for me that I want to knock out and guess what I’m going on.”

Lopez is highly confident of producing the desired results to establish himself as the best at the 135-pound landscape. Furthermore, he added that this bout will be a treat to watch for every boxing fan out there, as both the pugilists are extremely hungry to cement themselves as the best.
