Keyshawn Davis continues to feel he is entitled to a fight against Teofimo Lopez. For the same reason, the 25-year-old boxer remains disappointed in Lopez’s sharing the ring against Steve Claggett in his last fight. On that note, commanding Lopez to step up, Davis has now called out ‘The Takeover’ again!
Many have sharply disapproved of the performance Lopez displayed against Claggett of whose existence they were in the dark. For example, only yesterday, dwelling upon Lopez vs. Claggett, controversial boxing promoter, Rick Glaser harshly branded Teo’s fight against Steve as “uninspiring.” Additionally, Glaser found Claggett a no-name opponent, an opinion Keyshawn does not dissent from.
“I didn’t know who Claggett was until they announced he’s fighting Teo,” said Keyshawn Davis, who had expressed his desire to fight Teo earlier this year. However, Lopez had felt “big-headed” Davis was aiming for an easy route to fame without having accomplished “anything in the sport of boxing.” Meanwhile, somewhat concurring with Lopez, Bob Arum also claimed it was too early for Davis to fight Teo. But Davis is not willing to let go.

“I think he should fight me next,” opined ‘The Businessman.’ “Me vs Teofimo Lopez could of took that to Madison Square Garden and sold it out, but he wanted to fight in a bar against Claggett,” he added. “Tell Teo to drop his nuts and fight me!” Keyshawn Davis told Fight Hub TV. In this connection, it is worth exploring what Lopez thinks of Keyshawn Davis as an opponent.
Teofimo Lopez is unimpressed about Keyshawn Davis’ boxing career
According to Keyshawn Davis, Lopez needs to step up his competition. However, is Davis himself already qualified for a fight against Lopez? Well, ‘The Takeover’ does not think that Davis is eligible. So, in February this year, replying to ‘The Businessman,’ the WBO Super-Lightweight champion exposed Davis’ resume to the public. Speaking of a potential fight, Teo bemoaned the fact that Keyshawn did not “even have a world title.”
“Those little belts that he has. I got that the first year I turned pro,” added Lopez. Referring to his memorable win against Vasyl Lomachenko, Teofimo added, “S**t that was in three years, three years and some change, I became a world champion at 22 years young.” With that said, do you think Keyshawn Davis is the next opponent Teofimo Lopez should face?
