Teofimo Lopez lets X decide on his next battle: Stevenson emerges as the fan’s clear favorite
Teofimo Lopez wants his fans on X decide who should fight between Richardson Hitchins and Shakur Stevenson. The X users appear to be pressing towards TEO fighting Shakur, likely because of the recent back and forth between the two social media fighter.
Shakur (24-0, 11 ko) comes from a big victory over William Zepeda on July 12th, and his popularity is on the up after that victory. It wasn’t a spectacular victory, but compared to how he typically fights, it was exciting. People talk more about Stevenson than Hitchins. That should convince Lopez to fight Shakur if he is serious about fans choosing his next opponent.
Fans would like to see Lopez fighting against Hitchins and Shakur back to back, but that’s too much to hope for. Teofimo has been very selective since his victory one major career over Vasily Lomachenko in 2020. The closest thing Lopez has since gone into a dangerous battle against Josh Taylor, who was washed by the time they fought.
The ultimate decision will be to fight with Turki Alalshikh will be willing to pay the most about it. If it offers Teofimo $ 15-20 million to fight Hitchins, you can bet that it will take that fight. It is suspicious whether it will be known because hard core boxing fans are known, and has a small number of followers on social media compared to Shakur.
Hitchins has an IBF lightweight weight title to argue his case for battle against WBO Lopez champion (22-1, 13 KOS). It would be a battle to merge two belts if they mix it.
Units have lost meaning in this age, as the sections are watered down, and fans do not take much attention. What is more vital is popularity. That’s where Shakur has a big edge over Hitchins, which hasn’t beaten enough names to be in a good position to attract teofimo.
What Hitchins should do is raise her profile by fighting against Gary Antuanne Russell, Subriel Matias, and Alberto Puello. Once Richardson goes through those three, fans will press for Teofimo to fight.
