Two-time, two-division Ring Magazine world champion & the youngest undisputed champion in the modern four-belt era, “The Takeover” Teofimo Lopez will appear at the Ninth Annual Box Fan Expo on Saturday, May 2, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

This marks Lopez’s fifth appearance at the Expo, where he will host an exclusive meet-and-greet for fans. Attendees can get gloves, photos, and memorabilia signed, and shop limited-edition merchandise available only at the booth of this boxing star also known as the “The Takeover”.

About Teofimo Lopez

Lopez is an American professional boxer and a two-division world champion. He represented his parents’ native country of Honduras as an amateur at the 2016 Summer Olympics. Lopez is the former Undisputed Lightweight world champion. He held the IBF title from December 2019 to November 2021. Lopez defeated pound-for-pound great Vasyl Lomachenko on October 17, 2020, to become the WBA (Super), WBO, WBC Franchise, and Ring magazine belt champion. This monumental victory over Lomachenko, alongside winning two lineal titles by the age of 25, propelled Lopez into a true boxing star, as well as being the youngest four-belt champion in boxing history.

Lopez recently moved up in weight to the Super Lightweight division and defeated Pedro Campa on August 13th, 2022, in Las Vegas. On April 8, 2023, it was officially announced that Lopez would attempt to become a two-division world champion by challenging pound-for-pound great, undefeated WBO and The Ring Magazine Super Lightweight champion Josh Taylor. The anticipated showdown took place on June 10 at the Hulu Theater in New York City. Lopez dominated the fight and won in spectacular fashion to become a two-division world champion. This incredible achievement was followed by Lopez retaining his world championship title versus top contender Jamaine Ortiz on February 8, 2024, in Las Vegas. He then followed with another win four months later, defeating Steve Claggett in Miami Beach, Florida. Immediately after the fight, while still inside the ring, Lopez was honored with the Key to the City of Miami—a remarkable recognition that underscored the significance of his victory and his impact on the community. Most recently, on May 2, 2025, Lopez showcased his incredible skills once again with an electrifying win in Times Square, New York, defeating the previously undefeated top contender, Arnold Barboza Jr. On January 31, 2026, Lopez headlined a mega fight against the highly talented Shakur Stevenson. The event shattered historical attendance records at Madison Square Garden, surpassing the legendary Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier I to set a new benchmark for the highest attendance in boxing history.
