Yesterday, WBO champion and former undisputed light welterweight champion Josh Taylor and former world lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez held their final press conference ahead of their fight in New York on June 10, and there was so much verbal sparring that the guards thought necessary to keep them away from each other during the traditional duel of views.
“This fight means everything to me,” said mandatory challenger Lopez. “What’s the point of calling yourself the Conqueror?” [Takeover — лозунг Лопес, с которым он завоевал титулы в легком весе]if you can’t beat guys in your weight? Josh Taylor is the strongest at junior welterweight and needs to be beaten to be the best.”
“I’m happy, what more could you ask for? Lopez added. “Nobody challenged this guy Josh Taylor, I don’t know why, maybe because he already defeated everyone. However, I’m here to step into the ring and take everything you have.”
After Lopez used Mike Tyson’s famous words that everyone has a plan until they miss, Taylor called the opponent a clown who has no thoughts of his own, and Lopez decided to deny this.
“I have my own quote, I came to it yesterday: “Strive for death, that’s where life begins,” Lopez said proudly. – I think she’s good. Everyone is afraid of death, I don’t know why, we are all going to die. But in the end, if I die, I will die for something important, for something that will last forever.
“Wow, okay, no comment,” Taylor responded. I have a genuine dislike for him. He was disrespectful and I will make him pay in the ring for his words. So I’m looking forward to Saturday. You will see Josh Taylor win, perhaps by knockout, quickly and beautifully.”
