It’s much more than just a lightweight title unification fight for Vasyl Lomachenko, who claims to pay back Teofimo Lopez for all his ugly words when they face each other on October 17.
IBF titleholder Teofimo Lopez has always been a brash superstar of the sport. No wonder the 23-year-old hasn’t hesitated to trash-talk with Lomachenko ahead of their high-voltage fight. Being the undefeated word lightweight champion, Lopez can rightfully boast himself as one of the best in the division. However, ‘Loma’ believes that he should have kept a check on his tongue.
In response, ‘Hi-tech’ said that he wouldn’t mind hurting his opponent in the fight. While the fight has already grabbed global attention, ‘Loma’ has just intensified the tale with his recent response to Lopez.

Talking about it, Lomachenko said, “Perhaps they didn’t teach him (Teofimo Lopez) in his neck of the woods that you have to watch your tongue. And when you are saying such things, you have to answer for them. You can’t simply insult a person because you don’t like him.”

“I don’t think he fully gets it. It seems to me that he doesn’t understand. I hope to drag him into deep waters, down to the bottom, and keep him underwater without air,” Vasyl added.
