The 16-0 boxer spoke to The Boxing Social on YouTube and said, “He won’t be ready. And that’s what I know, and what I believe. He won’t be ready and he will know, when that first round, and that first bell rings, he will feel it. My presence alone, my energy, and the whole thing is that, he will get a taste of it, and understand what I mean by all that.”

Lopez’s words showed his confidence in his ability. Moreover, based on his comment, ‘The Takeover’ believes Kambosos Jr. is underestimating him.

Kambosos Jr., who is unbeaten, and has earned his shot the hard way, will not be as easy an opponent for Lopez. However, the champion, who is aware of this, has claimed it would not be enough.

“At the end of the day, I know he’s a young, hungry fighter that wants to come out there and try to take this throne that I have, but it just won’t work,” said Lopez.
