Boxing starts a great run soon and tonight’s sees one of the sport’s stars return and finally get back to work, long overdue.
Teofimo Lopez has been in great form this week, clearly.
But all the fun and games comes to an end later on tonight shortly.
The 26-year-old fights at Miami Beach tonight in Florida against Steve Claggett.
A 35-year-old journeyman from Canada.
It is for Lopez’ WBO world super-lightweight (135 lbs.) title.
Lopez knows he must look good and do the business in style.
So many big fights await for him if he does later in the year.
Since losing his first pro fight to George Kambosos Jr. of Australia back in 2021, Lopez has bounced back stronger than ever as always.
Four wins on the trot so far. Three decisions and one stoppage win since then.
Including a big UD win over Scotland’s Josh Taylor back in 2023.
But Lopez knows he must impress tonight with the likes of Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson and Gervonta Davis fights and pound for pound new talents like him all floating around the lower weight divisions.
Lopez’ record stands at 20-1-13 KO going into tonight’s bout.
He’s well received from fans is Lopez and he knows he has the ability to go as far as he wants.
