Teofimo Lopez praises the champions of Ukraine
Teofimo Lopez expressed his admiration for Ukrainian boxing champions who joined the effort to fight against Russia.
Former heavyweight champions Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, current heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and former lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko have all volunteered to fight for their country.
Here’s what ‘The Takeover’ had to say about them in a recent Twitter post:
“One thing is to fight for your country, another thing is to defend it! Salute to these beautiful and great champions for the bravery and strength they have for their compatriot and their families! The boxing world is with you in prayer!”
The boxing world has come together to show their appreciation and respect for the Ukrainian boxers who left their lives of comfort and luxury to defend their homeland. This kind of courage is not easy to find, especially considering their financial situation and the ease with which they could have left for another country.
Vitali Klitschko has remained loyal to his compatriots since entering politics. He will now fight alongside the very people who voted for him to defend their nation. His younger brother is next to him.
Teofimo Lopez gets into ‘brawl’ instigated by Mike Tyson on Superbowl Sunday
Teofimo Lopez visited the Mike Tyson podcast set, Hotboxing with Mike Tyson, on Super Bowl Sunday and had a falling out with former NFL player Brandon Marshall. Mike Tyson goaded the pair as they faced off.
Take a look at the video below:
The two put on a show as Tyson encouraged Lopez, asking her to punch Marshall. Then they kissed and sat down again. Earlier, Marshall also tried to go up against Tyson, but quickly regretted his decision. ‘Iron Mike’ turned around, dropped into his signature pose and came swinging at Marshall.
The podcast had a number of special guests on Superbowl Sunday, including Daniel Cormier and Brendan Schaub. Tyson and his team managed to put on one of the best episodes they’ve ever released. Fans on Twitter couldn’t get enough.
