Teofimo Lopes today told the media that he was not a racist and that people mistakenly thought that he sent bananas to the wardrobe Keyshawn Davis during the week of his fight with Denys Berinchyk.
Crawford Talk
The featherlight master WBO Lopez (21-1, 13 KO) cleaned some of the comments about Terenka Crawford. He says they already talked about it and informed him that he was just trying to fight him.
For Teofimo to have a chance to get a great mega, fighting Crawford, he must win his upcoming match with Arnold Barboza Jr. On May 2 at the Times Square in Fresh York. IN
“I Think Tank did what he had to. It was a great fight. I think they should make a rematch – said Teofimo Lopez to media Asked about his thoughts about the fight against Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach. “I felt that Roach had done enough when it comes to combinations, but at that moment it doesn’t matter. This is a boxing business, guys – said Lopez, asked what he thinks about a tank, which knee in ninth place.
Lopez is one of the few people who thought that the lightweight champion WBA Gervont Davis did enough to win his fight against Lamont Roach last Saturday. Teofimo did not seem too worried about the fact that the tank was taking their knee and the judge blows up the call in ninth place.
“I still think Gervont will win with Shakur. Me and Crawford joined. So we have already talked about what it is. He asked me what he was all about, and I said, “I’m trying to fight you all. I am trying to fight you at the age of 154 – said Teofimo about the removal of matters from Terenka Crawford about some racist comments he made in the media.
“The whole thing was basically. He is [Crawford] He will not fight anyone until he gets Canelo, who is in September and at the stadium Allegian [in Las Vegas]. So all these things are a window for me. So, now I can do everything, it’s a sparring session [with Crawford]. “
Teofimo will have to win all three of his fights on a contract with Turka Alalshikhh to have a chance to fight Crawford, because he will not bother if he is beaten. Some fans believe that Teo will lose all three fights with Turk’s contract.
Refusal of racism
“They don’t hate good ones. They were wonderful – said Lopez asked about people about his achievements. “It’s just a part. This is competition and currency. No matter what it is, I am a master. I am the only master [at the Fatal Fury press conference] at this table. I am alone.
“We are all racists, each of us. Do you know why? Because we are against one true breed that is most vital. Human breed. We are all divided, all. 10,000 religions all of us. We are all black. I have an African tattoo. I have Africa there. They said that the first human being was a monkey named Lucy. I’m not a racist. This is not racist, “Teofimo said asked why he is saying racist things.
“That’s how you take it. Banana is potassium. Represent the subject. You added a stereotype. Everything I did with Banana, eating and laughing at it. You thought I sent it ***, “said Teofimo about the media and fans who believe that he sent a banana box to the Hotel room Keyshawn Davis during his week’s fight with the WBO Lightweight Denys Berinchyk champion on February 14.
Jordan argued that the reality behind the proposed Joshua vs. Fury fight differs significantly from public statements, before explaining why he believed the event was already taking place outside the normal promotional structure.
“With all due respect, but first and foremost, the reasons why there is enough money to do this is, as we both know and have discussed many times, that both Tyson and Joshua have slightly different deals with their promoters than other fighters because they are not subject to a broadcasting obligation,” Simon said on talkSport Boxing.
“So when Tyson Fury does a deal, he doesn’t necessarily have to be on a broadcaster that Frank Warren or Eddie Hearn is contracted to.
“Where is this fight? Netflix, right?
“So with all due respect and I mean no disrespect to either Frank or Eddie, neither of them are promoting it.
“It’s a deal with Netflix that ultimately includes some of Turki Alalshikh’s money, so Dana is throwing her two pence into the ring.
“But Eddie promotes AJ and Frank promotes Tyson, so they must be involved.”
Jordan then suggested that White’s connection to Turki Alalshikh is the reason the UFC boss is publicly discussing the fight.
“Dana’s daddy will promote it, i.e. Turki Alalshikh” – said Simon.
Both Joshua and Fury are expected to return to the ring ahead of their scheduled showdown later this year, with Joshua scheduled to fight on July 25, with Fury also discussing a return fight.
Hrgovic strongly disagreed and mocked Allen’s approach to the fight while discussing his opponent.
“Yes, that’s his loser mentality. That’s what he achieved throughout his career. That’s why he suffered 10 defeats and I suffered one defeat,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.
“It’s just an underdog mentality. I just take the pressure off myself like, ‘I’m a Doncaster boy.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. I don’t have to win. It puts pressure on him.”
“You know, it’s a loser’s mentality. So OK, I’ll take the pressure. I have to win. I’m a winner.
“He always had this mentality. ‘I’m fat. I don’t train. I don’t need to win. I’m tiny’. Come on, man. Don’t make excuses your whole life. Just train, be professional and go for the win.
“I expect him to be the best version of himself because this is a huge opportunity for him and it’s his hometown. I expect him to be in good shape.
“I think I’m definitely a tougher fight for him than Zhang. Zhang is aged, aged.
“I can also be fat if I don’t train and if I drink beer. I can be fat and be a journeyman and come to every fight and just say, ‘I don’t have to win.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. “
“I think I’m better. I’m faster. I’m better in all aspects of the fight. But you know, it’s heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen and he’s a brave guy. He always comes forward and steps up to the fight. So I think it’ll be a good fight.”
Hrgovic comes into the fight after a tough recent run that has included physical fights with Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. He defeated Joyce and Adeleye after losing to Dubois, with both victories coming after tough rounds and bulky rallies.
The fight will be the main event of Saturday’s heavyweight gala in Doncaster.
