WBO light welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez of the United States shared his emotions after defeating Josh Taylor of Great Britain.
I might retire after this one. Retirement man, I'm kind of tired. I'm not getting paid enough, a million dollars? Get the f*** out of here. I need to take a break, I'm tired of everyone bullying me. I'm young, I'm a kid at heart. I think y'all need to go after the Devin Haney's, Shakur Stevenson's and Tyson Fury's.
