Teofimo Lopez is one of the brightest talents in boxing who currently reigns as the unified lightweight world champion. As a child, his boxing journey began under the supervision of his father Teofimo Lopez Sr., who still continues to play a vital role in his professional career. From the start, Teo has displayed sensational skills and even as an amateur has garnered a lot of attention thanks to his dominant rise. Eventually, in 2016, Lopez turned pro and also continued his dominance in the pro ranks. After quickly setting a 14-0 record, his first major challenge came in the form of IBF lightweight champion Richard Commey. Contrary to most expectations, Lopez did a quick champion job and won the fight with a TKO in the second round.
Following the victory, he faced the highly respected Unified WBA (Super), WBO and The Ring champion Vasyl Lomachenko. Defying the odds, Teofimo scored a life-shattering victory and in just 16th professional bout he became the unified lightweight world champion. As a result of these accomplishments, Lopez is highly admired by boxing critics and numerous publications have ranked him as one of the best active boxers in the world. Now moving away from his boxing career, Teofimo Lopez is married to former flight attendant Cynthia. The two went on a Delta Airlines flight and started dating soon after.
