Recently, current WBO Super Lightweight Champion and two-division world titleholder American Teofimo Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs) told the media that he wants to move up in weight to challenge three-division world champion Terence Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs), and he is confident he can secure a victory.
Teofimo Lopez said, “Maybe I’m crazy, but I want to challenge Crawford. Many brave warriors in boxing have tried to push their limits, although most have not succeeded – that’s the allure of boxing. Why can’t I give it a shot? What sets me apart from others is that I can succeed, which would make the victory even sweeter. The question is how to beat a fighter like Crawford? I know how. Once I step into the ring, everyone will see.”
The 26-year-old Teofimo Lopez has a professional record of 21 wins and 1 loss, with 13 wins by knockout. He is currently ranked No.2 at 140 pounds on BOXREC. Lopez is 1.73 meters tall with a reach of 1.74 meters. He has defeated Vasyl Lomachenko and Josh Taylor in the past. His sole defeat was a controversial decision loss to George Kambosos Jr., though he did underestimate his opponent in that bout.
