It seems that American Teofimo Lopez has seriously decided to end his professional boxing career.
Teofimo Lopez hands over his recently won championship belt. It will be remembered that the American boxer recently received the WBO light welterweight title. He won the fight against Josh Taylor.
However, the president of the World Boxing Organization, Francisco Valcarcel, said that from now on the belt is vacant.
“Teofimo Lopez just wrote to me that he is vacating his world light welterweight title. We must respect his decision. If he wants to come back, the WBO door is always open for him,” Valcarcel wrote.

It will be remembered that after the fight with Taylor, Lopez announced his retirement, although he later called the condition for his return.
