Since then, his career has had its ups and downs, although he always maintains high-profile fights
With Honduran roots, ‘The Takeover’ Lopez has built a professional career marked by spectacular knockouts, titles in two divisions and a rebuilding process following his only defeat. Ahead of his upcoming fight against Shakur Stevenson, many fans are wondering exactly what Teofimo Lopez’s record is and what the numbers say about this highly anticipated matchup.
What is Teofimo Lopez’s record?
Teofimo Lopez has a record of 22-1-0, that is, he boasts 22 wins (13 by knockout) and only one loss, with no draws. That only defeat came in November 2021 against George Kambosos Jr., a fight that marked a before and after in his career, as he lost all his lightweight belts.
