I might retire after this one. Retirement man, I'm kind of tired. I'm not getting paid enough, a million dollars? Get the f*** out of here. I need to take a break, I'm tired of everyone bullying me. I'm young, I'm a kid at heart. I think y'all need to go after the Devin Haney's, Shakur Stevenson's and Tyson Fury's.

Lopez vs. Taylor, on the night of June 11 in New York, won by unanimous decision (115-113, 115-113, 117-111).

Lopez, 25, had previously been in the ring in December 2022 against Sandor Martin. That fight, which went the full distance, ended with Teofimo winning by split decision. He has 19 wins (13 KO's) and one loss.

Taylor, 32, defeated Jack Catterall in February 2022 by split decision. He has 19 wins (13 KOs) and one loss.
