Teofimo Lopez took to social media to order IBF mild welterweight champion Richardson Hitchins to signal the contract he despatched to him after the gifted Brooklyn, New York native rejected the supply he’d despatched to him.
Hitchins (19-0, 7 KOs) advised WBO belt holder Teofimo (21-1, 13 KOs) to “ship the best numbers” after receiving what he felt was a lowball supply from him. Lopez, 27, isn’t having it, and he’s telling him to take the supply as despatched. He feels like he thinks he’s Richarson’s boss.
One other Missed Alternative?
That is what I used to be afraid of. Teofimio is pricing himself out similar to he did in fights that did not occur in opposition to Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, and lots of others.
Teofimo wants this combat as a result of this is without doubt one of the three for his contract with Turki. The opposite two are in opposition to Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis in October and the Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney 2 rematch loser in February 2026. The possibilities are excessive that Teofimo’s report will likely be 0-3 after he completes his contract with Turki subsequent 12 months.
Residing Off of Previous Glory
The issue is Lopez thinks he’s a star, however he’s not. He’s a one-hit marvel whose profession has been in a freefall since his one massive victory 5 years in the past in opposition to Vasily Lomachenko in 2020. If not for Prime Rank maintaining Teofimo’s head above water, he’d be on the junk pile now with 5 – 6 losses within the final 5 years as a result of he’s not the fighter that many had thought.
He’s been dwelling off that one massive win over Loma all these years and crushed nobody since aside from an over-the-hill British fighter Josh Taylor.
Teofimo’s Tantrum
“What sort of b**** s*** is that? I’m going to let you know like this, bro. You’re both going to combat me since you mentioned you’re going to be at me, otherwise you gained’t combat me in any respect, you punch b****,” mentioned Teofimo Lopez on X speaking to IBF mild welterweight champion Richardson Hitchins to signal the contract he despatched him.
“How are you going to go and discuss all this insanity about me and the way you’re going to field me and beat the bricks off me? Man, I fought [Vasily] Lomachenko for $1.3 million. I whooped {that a}**. Yeah, the identical applies to Josh Taylor. I whooped {that a}**.
“The identical applies to Richard Commey, the IBF world champion for $800K. I whooped {that a}**. What are you speaking about, speaking about, ‘Ship the contract with the best numbers.’ Shut that s*** up,man,” mentioned Teofimo.
“You’re only a p****,” mentioned Teofimo Lopez Sr., piping in along with his two cents to Hitchins.
He feels like he’s off his rocker and doesn’t perceive that his profession will likely be over by early 2026 after he goes 0-3 with Turki Al-Sheikh’s three-fight contract.
Ship the contract with the best numbers and there 😅
