Ennis’ profession has regarded shaky in his final 4 fights, struggling in each considered one of them towards Karen x 2, David Avanesyan, and Roiman Villa. He’s prime for a loss towards Lopez, who has been pushing for an enormous combat for the final 4 years since his victory over Vasily Lomachenko.
Teofimo’s promoter, Bob Arum, at High Rank, is negotiating the combat with Ennis’ Matchroom promoter, Eddie Hearn, for a joint DAZN & ESPN PPV occasion.
Lopez, 27, and Boots are the identical age. Neither man has accomplished a lot lately because of the reluctance of the top-name guys to combat them. Teo has referred to as out fighters repeatedly, however none have proven severe curiosity because of the danger concerned.
