Person from Vilà: Racist insults and financial disputes of Theophimo Lopez

Theophimo Lopez bust Richardson Hitchins on social media to make a price demanding $ 2.5 million+ for a unification fight against him at Light Welterweight. López (21-1, 13 kos) went with the least expensive Arnold Barboza Jr. As the next opponent for the Turki Alralikh event in Times Square in New York City on May 2. Teo says he offered “upwards 1 million dollars ” by the fight against him.

Above all?

2.5 million dollars+ Looks like a lot of money for Hitchins, which is seen as replica of Shakur Stevenson but with much More power and more entertaining style. However, Hitchins is not yet exciting to see, which is why his career has not taken off despite being promoted by Eddie Hearn. Hearn is not giving him a significant promotional push as he does with fighters moving the needle with fans.

Shakur draws more attention than Hitchins because he works as a demon on X, publishing non -stop and won many fans in this way, although his style of struggle is at the lower basement level in terms of entertainment.

Choosing your required Wbo Barboza Jr. (32-0, 11 kos) could join López, as he could lose with this fighter, which is one of the best talents in the £ 140 division. The Wbo Light Welterweight champion, Teo, obviously sees Barboza as a walk in the park for him on Richardson, but that could go bad for him.

The person person

Theophimo’s publication in x was not the kindest. He used racist terms to insult and reject the dignity of the heavy weight champion of Ibf Hitchins light (19-0, 7 kos). Some fans see this as a movement calculated by López to adopt the Vilà Person to attract fans to be hated. It is like a professional fighter insulting the crowds and their opponents and traps to win. In the case of Teo, he uses racist talks.

To be real, you were looking for $ 2.5 million or more. @Turki_alshikh He thought it was not worth it. Barboza was offered “believe” $ 1 million for the fight.

We can dodge later; Your charcoal stick see mf’er. #Fatalfury https://t.co/cstzs2ap2q
