The next fight of the WBO Light welter champion, Teofimo Lopez, is planning for the island of Alcatraz on the high seas from the nearby San Francisco for June or July. This would be part of Turki Al-Sheikh’s three fighting agreement by Turki al-Sheikh.
If Teo is going to fight in the San Francisco area, Devin Haney It would make more sense. He was born in that city and brought to a great crowd for his fight against Regis Programis at the Chase Center in December 2023. Teo could be too dangerous for Haney to fight, and he is already supposed to fight against José Ramírez in May.
The angle of Alcatraz
I have been in Alcatraz many times and grew in the nearby area of Emeryville. Obtaining a large crowd would require many ferry trips, since ships have a 700 seat capacity. The sand would have to be the exercise courtyard. The view of the bay is exceptional, and Angel Island is close. Alcatraz is a fantastic place.
It is not the ideal place for Teofimo (21-1, 13 kos) fighting a unification clash against the 140-pound champion of the FIB Richardson HitchinsAs both are from Brooklyn, New York. The staging of that fight on the west coast would move away from its fans.
It could be a nightmare for Teofimo if fighting Hitchins in Alcatraz. If you lose, which is an excellent possibility of doing so, it will stooping While carrying the Ferry back to the San Francisco continent. It would be a depressing trip back. If this were another Steve Clockstt that Teo was expected to fight, it would be a picturesque place for him to fight.
Many fans expect Hitchins to be too good for Teo, who has been a case of mental basket in four of his last six fights since 2021. He has crumbled since his victory over Vasily Lomachenko in 2020. I am surprised that Turki would like to sign it. to a deal. If this were 2020, it would be understandable that Turki firm it, but Teofimo has seemed a Space case since then. That Loma fight took something.
Hitchins is expected to be the first fight for Teofimo, which would then lead to a clash against the Welter Welter champion of the Fib Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis in October, and finally a match at the beginning of 2026 against the winner or loser of Ryan García vs. Devin Haney 2 Revilla. The most likely scenario is that Teofimo fights against the loser of García-Haney’s revenge on the support of a loser.
