"All I can say is this, y'all keep hating on me. Those who support me I love you. Those who hating on me, just want to be like me. I got beats, I got Bud Lite, I got Essentia water, I got Reign energy drink, I mean I'm lit... and next is going to be Nike. You best believe that because I asked that to the universe and I'm going to grab that. For all, y'all keep hating, keep doing that. Give me that energy and last but not least, fu*k humble, that's growth."

"I think Top Rank is looking for that fight with Barboza.We'll fight anybody, it doesn't matter who it is. And then eventually fight Josh Taylor and get our belts back."
With a move up to the 140lbs looking certain, it will be interesting to see how Teofimo Lopez comes back from his first professional loss.
