Teofimo Lopez Reveals Personal Struggles Ahead of Bout

Teofimo Lopez, set to challenge WBO welterweight champion Josh Taylor next, has opened up about dealing with challenging personal circumstances recently.

"There have been a lot of personal issues. That plays a big role as you come up in the ranks and you’re a top fighter. A lot of things that people don’t really know.”

Like right now, just a little insight: my ex-wife, she filed for divorce. She’s gonna take half of my money and everything else with it. Though, you know, it’s a part of it. It is what it is. It comes with the territory. You live and you learn.”

“I don't get to see my son and that becomes hard at times. These things have a substantial impact on me, but that's just life," Lopez was quoted saying by Boxing Scene.
