TEOFIMO LOPEZ retained his WBO super-lightweight world title with a controversial win over Jamaine Ortiz on Thursday.
The 26-year-old put on a show in Las Vegas – in more ways than one.
Fans branded his extravagant ringwalk as “the best of 2024” after he acquired the services of a CIRCUS.
Lopez, who was dressed as a ringmaster, walked out to ‘The Greatest Show’ from hit movie ‘The Greatest Showman’.
And he was surrounded by different circus acts – including a sword swallower, a juggler and two clowns on stilts.
Boxing fans were left stunned by his incredible entrance, with one person tweeting: “Teofimo Lopez with a spectacular ring walk. This is what will draw more fans to the sport!”
