Teofimo Lopez is on a mission to prove himself against the best in boxing, and he’s not mincing words about his targets.
In a recent interview with Fight Hub TV, amidst discussions about his upcoming fight against Steve Claggett, Lopez boldly outlined his future plans that overshadowed the current match-up.
“The big dog, the mac daddy of them all-that’s Terence ‘Blood’ Crawford,” Lopez declared confidently, addressing the media’s questions about his next challenge.
A testament to his belief in his abilities
Despite Crawford‘s impending move to face Israil Madrimov at 154 pounds, Lopez expressed no hesitation in following suit.
“I’ll move up to 154, no problem. It’s been done before. Why not Teo Fimo?” he noted.
His statement wasn’t just about ambition – it was a testament to his unwavering belief in his abilities and his readiness to take on the best in multiple weight classes.
At just 24 years old, Lopez understands the significance of facing Crawford, who represents a monumental challenge and an opportunity to establish himself as a generational talent.
But Lopez‘s aspirations extend beyond Crawford, as he also voiced a strong desire to test himself against Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, the explosive WBA lightweight champion with an undefeated record and a reputation for devastating knockouts.
“I’ll take Crawford first because he’s on his way out,” Lopez noted.
“He’s the lineal champion. Beat him, and then we can talk about ‘mini me,’ Tank.”
