TEOFIMO LOPEZ called out American lightweight rival Devin Haney just moments after his stunning demolition of Vasiliy Lomachenko.

And it didn’t take long for Haney to give an answer, as he tweeted: “Lopez vs Haney 2021. Let’s do It! #AllTheBelts.”

Teofimo Lopez is happy to put all his belts on the line to fight WBC ‘regular’ champ Devin Haney

After a scintillating unanimous points win against Lomachenko, Lopez added the WBO, WBA and WBC ‘franchise’ belts to his IBF strap.

Haney holds the ‘regular’ WBC version, and is keen for the pair to lay it all on the line next year.

Speaking in the ring after his dismantling of a fighter regarded as the pound-for-pound best in Lomachenko, Lopez said: “I had to dig deep, man. I’m thankful. I’m grateful.

“And each and every day, I take that in. I thank God first because I couldn’t do it without him. I’m a fighter. I gotta dig in deep.

“I knew he was coming. I didn’t know if they had him up on the scorecards or not, and I love to fight.

“I can bang, too. I don’t care, man. I’ll take one to give one. That’s what a true champion does. I find a way to win.”

He was then asked what was next, to which he responded: “Man, take me to 140. Or I could fight the two-time email world champion Devin Haney if they want that.”

Haney puts his WBC belt on the line on November 7 against Yuriourkis Gamboa in Hollywood.

Teofimo Lopez put on a masterclass to easily beat Lomachenko

On a scintillating night at the MGM Grand in las Vegas, Lopez easily outpointed Lomachenko in just his 16th fight, winning on all three judges’ scorecards.

Tim Cheatham scored it 116-112, Julie Lederman a 119-109 thrashing with Steve Weisfeld having it 117-111.

While he didn’t look like he disagreed with the result, Loma was fuming and stormed out of the ring as soon as Lopez had his hand raised.

It meant the Ukrainian missed the new undisputed king performing his victory somersault followed by doing the ‘snowflake’ on the floor.

Working out how to beat Lomachenko has been compared to a challenge like that of the hit film The Matrix.

But Lopez, at just 23-years-old, had all the answers, stronger and quicker from the start to leave Loma contemplating his future, certainly at lightweight.
