Teofimo Lopez is officially moving up to the welterweight division and he is bringing the takeover with him. In this deep dive interview, the two-division world champion discusses his upcoming title bout against Roly Romero and what it means to be a true trailblazer in the modern era of professional boxing.

Teofimo opens up about his decision to step away from traditional promotional structures to launch Takeover Promotions and sign a direct deal with DAZN, making him one of the only active fighters and promoters in the game today. He and his father, Teofimo Lopez Sr., provide an honest look at the mental and physical challenges of the sport, including the life-threatening health scares he faced during the Kambosos fight and the strategic adjustments needed to conquer the 147-pound landscape.

Throughout the discussion, Teofimo shares his philosophy on the sweet science of boxing versus the circus atmosphere that has recently entered the ring. He reflects on his historic wins over legends like Vasiliy Lomachenko and Josh Taylor, explaining how mental toughness and faith allowed him to overcome the odds when the world wrote him off. Whether he is talking about his sparring history with Roly Romero or his admiration for legends like Sugar Ray Leonard and Manny Pacquiao, Teofimo's passion for the sport and his vision for the future are undeniable.
