WATCH: Hafthor Bjornsson Gets Blasted With a Nasty Shot to the Body by Teofimo Lopez

Lightweight star Teofimo Lopez is just over a month away from defending his unified belts against the unbeaten George Kambosos Jr. He is already grabbing attention for his activities at the gym. Having beaten Vasyl Lomachenko in his last fight, Lopez seems extremely confident about overpowering ‘Ferocious’. Meanwhile, his latest training with Hafthor Bjornson may have added some extra fuel to his ongoing camp.

24-year-old Lopez was recently spotted trading blows with The Mountain from The Game of Thornes. Standing opposite the gigantic persona, 135-pounder Lopez delivered his best. Astonishingly, he also consumed hefty body shots from Bjornson.

In a massive body-shot challenge, Lopez planted a right-hook to Bjornsson. ‘The Mountain’ ate it like nothing and produced an energized cheer. When offered the chance, he also planted a brutal shot on Teofimo Lopez. The lightweight champion tasted Bjornsson’s power and departed injury-free with a smile on his face.

Following five canceled dates, Triller washed their hands off the bout and Matchroom took over.

His last three wins have come against Richard Commey, Masayoshi Nakatani, and Vasyl Lomachenko, which clearly validate his surging progress in the division. But Kambosos Jr. can be different from all of them.
