At 23, Teofimo Lopez, the unified lightweight champion is already a global sensation. Looking at the rise of his pro career, it is much similar to that of Floyd Mayweather’s tale. Both Lopez and Mayweather have been successful in becoming one of the best in their divisions in their 20s. That said, Lopez can become the next PPV king of the sport.

However, he has already formed a tainted relationship with several A-listers like Floyd Mayweather and Deontay Wilder and cussed them on public platforms. Meanwhile, Lopez has also openly abused the CEO of Mayweather promotions on social media.
There is no denying that boxing promoters go through a battle of PPV sales. While boxers are always keen on putting on a show inside the ring, they also aim to be huge PPV draws for their promoters. Thus, Lopez’s ongoing war with Mayweather promotions is an indicator that he is ready to go against the biggies of the sport.

Deontay Wilder has poised a series of justifications for his loss against Fury. Following the talks of his overweight walkout costume, Wilder has blamed his trainer Mark Breland if being a double agent.
Thus, several fans have mocked him over the past few days, and world champion Lopez was one of them. ‘Take Over’ still stands by his statement, as he has also mocked Leonard Ellerbe for standing with ‘The Bronze Bomber’. What do you make of the same?
