In his last fight, Lopez competed for the WBO super lightweight title against Josh Taylor. Following a UD victory against Taylor, in a shocking statement, the 26-year-old declared that he was retiring from the sport of boxing. Claiming he was “tired of bullying,” ‘The Takeover’ said he needed a break. As a result, stating he had “shined bright,” the 26-year-old hung his gloves. However, now that he is back, ahead of a comeback fight, Lopez found himself with the ‘Einstein of Wall Street.’
Taking to Instagram, in one of his stories, Lopez shared his brief interaction with Peter Tuchman aka the ‘Einstein of Wall Street.’ Having met the former unified lightweight champion, Tuchman was genuinely happy. And ahead of his rumored bout with Davis, Tuchman said, “The champ. Teofimo Lopez, let’s go. It’s ‘The Takeover’.
In this connection, following the statements by McWater and Ford, as fans hope for the fight with ‘Tank,’ it is worth mentioning that Lopez had earlier slammed Davis.
In the wake of his victory against Taylor, Lopez said he was fighting everyone from the boxers to the judges who scored his fight. In this context, on being asked about a fight with Davis at a catchweight, ‘The Takeover’ feared that the fight would never come to fruition. Hence, he slammed Gervonta publicly. Out loud, he said, “Gervonta, you are a p***y. You are a b***ch“.
