Teofimo Lopez Jr. Plans to Torture George Kambosos Jr. Using Bizarre Strategy

Teofimo Lopez reveals his bizarre strategy for his fight against George Kambosos Jr. The two fighters will take each other on for the title of ‘unified’ lightweight champion of the world. The current champion Teofimo Lopez become undisputed back in 2020 when he beat former champion Vasiliy Lomachenko.

After Triller delayed the fight 5 times citing various reasons, the rights to the fight will now go to Match room Boxing. In the purse bid for the fight back in February, Match room boxing put the second-highest bid, and hence they will now have the rights to the fight. Ahead of their fight, Teofimo Lopez reveals his bizarre strategy that he will use when he finally faces Kambosos Jr.

“One round, I know I should make him suffer and like hold the pain but I just….. It’s gonna be a one-hitter quitter. I’ll probably pick him up like I’m crazy like that. I’ll probably pick the man up, and have the ref count him again and then do it again and then pick him up and just keep doing it till the round ends, but they’ll finish the fight by then.” said Lopez when an interviewer asked him how many rounds the fight would last for.
