Teofimo Lopez

Former world champion in three weight categories Vasyl Lomachenko admitted that the defeat from Teofimo Lopez helped him come to God.

"After the defeat from Teofimo Lopez then it seemed that I lost, but actually at that moment I won. At that moment I recognized god. That basically changed my whole life.

My goal now is not to be a champion. My goal is to become a better person, to be an absolute champion in life. Right now I'm very happy because I started to realize a lot of things that I didn't realize before the defeat. And speaking of defeats, I don't lose. I win when I lose," - said Lomachenko.

Recall that in 2020 Lomachenko lost to Lopez by unanimous decision of judges in a fight for the title of absolute world champion in lightweight.

Despite being overweight for the bout, Garcia not only won but also knocked Haney down three times. However, due to his weight issue, he missed out on claiming the WBC super lightweight title, which remained with Haney.

Teofimo Lopez (20-1, 13 KOs) is as charismatic and controversial a figure as Ryan Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs), but above all, both are excellent in the ring. And perhaps both will cross gloves soon.
