Teofimo Lopez has been making a lot of headlines at the moment.
He is currently engaged in a war of words online with Terence Crawford.
The two boxers have been trading words across social media as their beef continues to escalate.
But it’s not just other boxers that Lopez is currently facing issues with.
It seems that the current WBO and The Ring light welterweight champion is also having issues with his promoters.

Teofimo Lopez is currently signed to Top Rank Boxing.
Top Rank Boxing are one of the biggest agencies in the world with their roster including the likes of Naoya Inoue and Vasiliy Lomachenko.
They’ve also promoted some of the biggest names in the history of the sport including Muhammad Ali, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, George Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and many more besides.
Bob Arum has certainly built a reputation as one of the best in the business over a number of decades.
That doesn’t mean that every boxer is happy with their affiliation to the organisation.
And it seems that Lopez is one of them.
According to reports online, Teofimo Lopez reportedly filed a lawsuit against Top Rank Boxing to get out of his contract with his promoters.
It is widely believed that the New Yorker has one fight left on his contract.
But he seems to want to get out early.
Twitter user @izdatyofaceee has held a Twitter / X spaces recording where it’s claimed that Lopez is looking to secure his freedom from Top Rank Boxing.
Getting legal is definitely an interesting way to go about things for Lopez.
If that’s the route that he decides to follow, it may mean that he’ll be out of commission for a while from the ring.
With Teofimo Lopez previously asking for fights against the likes of Crawford and Gervonta Davis, fight fans will be keen to see how this current situation resolves itself.
