Teofimo Lopez Jr Calls Out Devin Haney for Disregarding a 'Generous and Fair' Proposal
Teofimo Lopez Jr. may have had a quiet year defending his WBO junior welterweight crown, but he's gearing up for an explosive 2025. Known as "The Takeover," Lopez is eager to dive into big-time fights once again. Recently teaming up with Eddy Reynoso, the renowned coach behind Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, Lopez is ready to take his career to new heights.
In a recent training session in San Diego, Lopez didn't hold back on discussing potential matchups against boxing heavyweights like Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, and Terence Crawford. Expressing his frustration with Team Haney's lack of response to an offer, Lopez made it clear that he's not one to waste time when it comes to negotiations.
Regarding a possible showdown with Ryan Garcia, Lopez mentioned, "Everything has to make sense. We have to give them something to be interested in. I try to play it fair as best as I can as the king of the division at 140 pounds."
To Terence Crawford, Lopez issued a bold challenge, saying, "Stop being a [expletive] and make the fight at 154 pounds. C'mon, take care of this young kid. Get me out of the ring. Get me out and put me in a stretcher. Everybody just be talking. And to everybody, stop ducking Teofimo."
Reflecting on his training with Reynoso, Lopez shared, "It's been great. Both of them have a good point of view of what they are seeing in me and what I can do. They have both been collaborating very well so far and I can't wait for what's in store."
With Lopez's determination and newfound partnership with Reynoso, the boxing world can expect to witness a whole new version of the champion. Get ready for Lopez's electrifying comeback in 2025!
