Unified lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez is looking to cement himself as the world's best fighter at 135lbs on November 27th against George Kambosos Jr. in New York exclusively on DAZN.
The WBA, WBO and IBF champion spoke on the latest instalment of DAZN's Off the Cuff and spoke about why he feels at 'home' in the professional ranks after a 32-fight amateur career.
"Once I completed everything in the amateurs, doing what I had to do to get to the pros. I was like ‘finally I’m home',” Lopez said.
“It’s why I make it look easy when it’s not.”
Lopez also briefly discussed last year's career changing win against Vasiliy Lomachenko.
“You can look back on the Lomachenko fight me and him are dipping at the same time because it’s a rhythm. I’m catching his rhythm; I’m starting to figure out what he’s doing and dissecting the matrix.
“I tell people I’m not human when it comes to my sport. I’m the Albert Einsten for boxing. I wanted to show that to the world when fought Vasily Lomachenko. I wanted to show I can box the most technical fighter in the world.”
