Sports fans are in a frenzy after Teofimo Lopez released a video of a sparring session between him and Rolando Romero. Subsequently, this was in response to Romero’s recent comments about Oscar De La Hoya and his cross-dressing controversy. The video surfaced on Lopez’s social media accounts, and fans noticed that the footage was a retaliation for Romero’s comments.
Romero, the lightweight champion, caused quite a stir when he spoke out against De La Hoya. Subsequently, Romero did this with a legend in the sport after fight negotiations with Ryan Garcia failed. Hence, Romero blatantly disrespected De La Hoya and even exposed his DMs to him on social media. This must have bothered Lopez. Furthermore, Lopez, known for his outspokenness, took it upon himself to get back at Romero and posted the sparring video. In addition, Lopez uploaded the video stating:
Don’t worry, Oscar De La Hoya, if it comes to it, I’ll handle this fake champ like I did back in 2017.Teofimo Lopez via X

While this video offers an interesting look at the fighters’ skills from behind the scenes, it also reminds them that trash talk and personal rivalries are not limited to boxing.
