Teofimo Lopez assures he's retired from boxing

Teofimo Lopez, the popular and charismatic American boxer, shocked the world with his announcement that he is retiring from boxing. The news came as a surprise to his fans and the boxing community as Lopez was considered one of the brightest young stars in the sport with a promising future ahead of him. So, why did Lopez decide to retire at such an early age?

Lopez, who is only 24 years old, stated that he is retiring from boxing due to a disagreement with his promoters, Top Rank. According to him, Top Rank did not fulfill their contractual obligations and did not provide him with the fights he wanted. Lopez also criticized the way Top Rank treated him throughout his career, and he expressed his disappointment that he was not given the proper recognition he deserved for his achievements.

Lopez’s decision to retire is a big loss for the sport as he is one of the most talented and entertaining boxers in recent years. He burst onto the scene in 2019 when he defeated Richard Commey to win the IBF lightweight title. He then unified the titles by defeating Vasiliy Lomachenko, who was considered one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world. The win against Lomachenko made Lopez a star overnight, and he proved that he was not just a hype machine but a legitimate world champion.

Lopez’s retirement highlights the ongoing issue of boxers not receiving fair treatment from their promoters. Boxers are often at the mercy of their promoters, who have the power to book fights and negotiate contracts on their behalf. Lopez’s case is not unique, as many boxers have had similar issues with their promoters in the past.

Lopez’s retirement is also a wake-up call for the boxing industry to address the issue of fighter compensation. Boxers put their lives on the line every time they step into the ring, and they deserve to be compensated fairly for their efforts. The sport of boxing cannot continue to thrive if its top athletes are not given the support they need to succeed.

Tyson Fury's Dad sets constraints on the AJ-Fury rematch

The “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury (33-0-1) is set to rematch with two-time former unified world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua (26-3-0) next year but Fury’s dad pushes Joshua vs Wilder first.

Deontay Wilder, “The Bronze Bomber” (43-2-1), former WBC heavyweight champ, is the first American world heavyweight champ since 2007. He defended his title for 10 times.

But, Wilder lost to Fury twice after their trilogy last October 9, 2021 in an eleventh round KO.

John Fury blurted to The Daily Mail that many boxers are ducking Wilder because they are afraid of him. He added that only his son defeated Wilder twice yet he praised the latter’s power.

As of this writing, the said rematch is still unclear however, DAZN reported last September 23, 2023 that promoter Eddie Hearns got an venue offer to stage the fight next year.

Crawford no match to Canelo at 168 – GGG coach

Gennady Golovkin (GGG) former coach Abel Sanchez presumes that Terrence Crawford is no match to Mexican pound for pound king Canelo Alvarez at 168 lbs.

In an interview by Fight Hub TV last October 9, 2023, GGG coach said that Canelo vs Crawford is laughable.

Sanchez is a Mexican-American trainer and coach of Gennady Golovkin who is the real rival of Canelo.

Undefeated and undisputed welterweight champion Crawford (40 – 0) has defeated his rival Errol Spence jr. last July 29, 2023 but still not enough to win vs Canelo.

It can be recalled that both Crawford and Spence Jr. have been craving to fight the Mexican superstar but to no avail.

When asked if Crawford can win vs Canelo, Sanchez said: “He [Crawford] gets beat. So, in my opinion, that’s not a good fight.”
