Lopez: 'I had no intention of retiring'

WBO world champion in junior welterweight Teofimo Lopez told why in June last year he unexpectedly announced his retirement from the sport.

“I needed to play a game. I didn’t intend to end my career, it was a marketing ploy. You need to be able to work with the media,” the American said in an interview with Boxing Social.

Let us remind you that on February 8 at the Top Rank evening in Las Vegas, Lopez will fight against Jamaine Ortiz.
