“No matter what doesn’t matter, the fight takes three months, 4 months, a year, you know. I will be ready and at the end of the day, no one remembers how long the fight took. They remember who became the undisputed champion.”

The fight was originally set to happen on June 5, and was later shifted to June 19. However, Lopez’s Covid positive reports have once again put a scratch on the event.
