Top Rank Boxing just dropped the big news: Teofimo Lopez (19-1, 13 KOs) is all set for his next rumble. He's facing off against Jemaine Ortiz (17-1-1, 8 KOs). Mark your calendars, fight fans: the action unfolds on February 8 in Las Vegas.
Rewind to last summer, 2023: Teofimo won against Josh Taylor, swiping the WBO title in the super lightweight class (up to 63.5 kg). Ortiz, not to be outdone, outpunched Antonio Moran last fall, sealing the deal by judges' decision.
Here's a twist: Teofimo and Jemaine have tangled with Vasyl Lomachenko in the ring. Teofimo triumphed, while Jemaine took a hit with a judges' decision loss. It's shaping up to be a clash of fates – who will deliver the knockout punch this time?
