George Kambosos Jr. (20-0, 10 KOs) pulled off a massive upset on Saturday night in unseating previously undefeated IBF/WBA/WBC Franchise/WBO lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez (16-1, 12 KOs) by a 12 round split decision at Madison Square Garden in New York.
IBF/WBA/WBC Franchise/WBO lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez and George Kambosos Jr meet up tonight on DAZN in their highly anticipated contest at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Teofimo Lopez weighed in at a very drained-looking 135 pounds on Friday for his title defense of his IBF, WBA, WBC Franchise, and WBO lightweight titles against a motivated upset-minded George Kambosos Jr.
Devin Haney is angry that Teofimo Lopez seems to have changed his mind about sticking around at 135 to face him next.
Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn says Teofimo Lopez is vulnerable against challenger George Kambosos Jr. this Saturday due to the weight cut and the inactivity that he’s had.
There have been multiple (perhaps a record-breaking amount?) postponements, there has been and is a ton of bad blood, with some near brawls taking place before the fight, and at one point it looked as though the fight might never happen.
George Kambosos Jr. believes yesterday’s fracas between Teofimo Lopez’s father and his father shows the champion’s team is full of ‘nervous energy’ ahead of their clash for Lopez’s IBF, WBO, WBA, WBC Franchise & Ring Magazine World Lightweight titles, at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, live worldwide on DAZN.
George Kambosos Jr. says Teofimo Lopez Sr. came at him during Tuesday’s media workout and potentially tried to attack him. Kambosos’ dad intervened and appeared to push Teofimo Sr.
Teofimo Lopez has warned George Kambosos Jr. that ‘God will humble him’ for disrespecting his family when he defends his IBF, WBO, WBA, WBC Franchise & Ring Magazine World Lightweight titles on Saturday night (November 27) at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, live worldwide on DAZN.
Teofimo Lopez Sr. says he wants 140-lb undisputed champion Josh Taylor in April for his son Teo and then Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.
