Teofimo Lopez gives huge sign he has genuinely retired at age 25
Teofimo Lopez has now vacated his WBO super-lightweight world title, giving the strongest indication yet that he is genuinely retired from boxing.
The young American star scored the second elite win of his career on Saturday night in New York as heLopez dethroned Josh Taylor to become the WBO super-lightweight world champion, but has vacated the belt instantlyAt just 25, Lopez is now a two-weight world champion, but not only that, he's also achieved the rare feat of taking out the top guy in both divisions.
In between these two marquee wins though , life has not exactly been plain sailing for the youngster. Lopez was stunned as he lost the lightweight belts he took from Lomachenko to George Kambosos Jr in his first defence in 2021. He then only narrowly edged out Sandor Martin when on the comeback trail in 2022, with many feeling he was fortunate to get the decision, hence his underdog status coming into the Taylor fight.
