Teofimo Lopez hints at moving to 147 pounds, possibly in next fight

Teofimo Lopez has hinted at a possible move up to 147 pounds, two weeks after successfully defending his Ring Magazine junior welterweight championship against Steve Claggett.

Lopez (21-1, 16 knockouts) broached the topic this past Saturday during an interview with Mark Kriegel for ESPN+, hinting that he may be moving up in weight as soon as his next fight. Lopez said that, despite going the distance for the fourth straight time against Claggett, he believes his power will follow him to welterweight.
