Lopez: Haney Fight is Boxing's True Undisputed Rematch
27 Aug
Summary
- Lopez aims to fight Devin Haney to reclaim disputed undisputed status.
- He claims he beat Lomachenko better than Devin Haney did.
- Lopez suggests his contract situation resets mandatory challenger status.
WBA welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez has expressed a strong desire to face Devin Haney, viewing it as the path to reclaiming his disputed undisputed status. Lopez asserts that his victory over Vasyl Lomachenko should have been recognized as definitively undisputed, a status he feels Haney's subsequent win over Lomachenko tainted.
Lopez argues that his performance against Lomachenko was superior to Haney's, and that a fight between them would finally prove his undisputed claim to all observers. He also indicated that recent contractual matters, particularly concerning a prior agreement involving Rolando 'Rolly' Romero, have reset his situation, potentially altering mandatory challenger dynamics.
