Per Teofimo Lopez’s twitter, the young lightweight super star is looking at headlining on July 19 in Washington, DC for his first title eliminator.

Lopez was responsible for a knockout of the year candidate last year over Mason Mendard. He has gone on to knock out his next two opponents after that fight.

The hard hitting prospect has 11 knockouts in 13 fights and looks as polished as you can expect a 21 year old to look. No official announcement on the fight yet.

Nik enjoys bantamweight wars, good body work, and boxers who work on their craft. In his spare time he spends time with his family, or away from them in his work shop.
