Teofimo Lopez Next Fight: ‘The Takeover’ Defends World Title On Inaugural Ring Magazine Card In Times Square<\/h2>\n

Teofimo Lopez is without doubt one of the biggest stars in world boxing<\/a>. In his relatively short yet successful career, ‘The Takeover’ has already solidified himself as an all-time great. Lopez is already a two-weight world champion, and will likely win world honours in even more weight classes in the not so distant future.<\/p>\n

At just 27-years-old, the American still has plenty of years left in the sport, which of course means making millions and winning huge fights. If he continues on his current trajectory, there is no doubt that Lopez could go on to be a pound-for-pound boxing<\/a> superstar.<\/p>\n

Teofimo Lopez’s record now stands at 21-1 with 13 KO’s, including winning five world title bouts across two weight classes. Lopez has beaten some of the best fighters of this era, including Vasyl Lomachenko and former undisputed 140-pound king Josh Taylor<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

In regards to the Teofimo Lopez next fight, it has been confirmed that the 27-year-old will face the unbeaten Arnold Barboza Jr on May 2nd. This isn’t just a normal fight, it happens to be a history-making, ground-breaking event on the inaugural Ring Magazine card in the middle of Times Square, New York.<\/p>\n

Going into the contest, it is the champion Lopez who is the slight favourite with the best UK boxing betting sites<\/a>. This comes as no surprise given his pedigree and vast experience, but Barboza is definitely a live dog in this fight, coming in off a career-best victory over Jack Catterall<\/a> in Manchester.<\/p>\n

There was some talk that Teofimo Lopez would be moving up to welterweight, but that hasn’t happened just yet. Teofimo Lopez’s next fight is now just around the corner against the 32-0 unbeaten Arnold Barboza Jr.<\/p>\n
