Lopez (21-1, 13 ko) will decide whether to defend his WBO light title of foundation against Barbose Jr. (32-0, 11 ko), empty or take away his belt by sanctioning. Turks al-Sheikh will decide who Teofimo is facing the following.
In the cryptic post of Theophimo on X The Turks said today:
“I shake my crazy head, Turks Alalshikh; nevertheless, I respect your wishes. From one lion to another.”
Some fans believe that Turks told theophima that he wanted him to fight Barboz Jr. -O, and that’s why he’s dissatisfied. Teo has been led for four years from the talented Barboz Jr. -And, ignoring him since he was moving to 140, and mostly focused on a smaller opposition.
If the Turks forcing Teofimo to fight him, Jig could be ready for him and his career. Top Rank maintains Lopez with their protective matches in the same way they did with Keyshawn Davis.
“Theophimo has a back to the corner. Now people know why I have been breaking me for the last four years,” said Arnold Barboza Jr. Ring Magazine Tonight, telling that Teofimo Lopez captured WBO Light Welterweight Champion after defeating Jack Catterall at an eliminator of a 140-pound title to make Teo mandatory.
“Now is the time to set yourself up or shut up or leave. So, to see what he is doing. I think if you put me and Teo in Alcatraz, I think it will be an amazing war. That one, I come to war. My manager goes to it. Go. Saudi and will probably talk to the Turks and see what we can do, “Barboza Jr. said
