Teofimo Lopez posted on X right this moment, asking his promoters at High Rank what his “buyout” quantity is so he can get out of the rest of his contract.
Why this sudden burst of vitality from Lopez asking his promoters for the buyout quantity? He may see the free agent Devin Haney combating on BLK Prime on March twenty fifth and sure making good cash. Teo could need to get in on the act.
Teofimo’s High Rank Exit?
As a free agent, Lopez may get snatched up by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom, or he may select to observe Haney’s technique of staying in that capability.
The WBO gentle welterweight champion Teofimo (21-1-1, 13 KOs) appears to imagine that he’ll get larger fights as soon as he leaves High Rank, however it’s questionable whether or not that may occur. Teo’s loss to George Kambosos Jr. and controversial wins over Jamaine Ortiz and Sandor Martin confirmed he’s a restricted fighter.
How does Lopez not know his buyout quantity? His supervisor ought to be capable of give him this data. High Rank has executed a person’s job with Teofimo throughout his profession. It’s not their fault that he’s appeared so poor since his one massive profession win towards Vasily Lomachenko in 2020.
Teofimo is at the moment anticipated to combat former IBF gentle welterweight champion Subriel Matias on March fifteenth in a non-PPV occasion on ESPN. There’s an excellent likelihood Lopez may lose that combat, as he’s appeared horrible towards Jamaine, Sandor, and Steve Claggett.
