Teofimo Lopez ready to handle Shakur Stevenson 'step up' before The Ring 6 blockbuster

Teofimo Lopez is ready to handle the "step up" presented by Shakur Stevenson as the pair reach the last weeks of preparation before The Ring 6 this month.

The WBO light-welterweight champion will bid to retain his belt against the three-division king at Madison Square Garden, live and exclusive on DAZN PPV.

Despite being the belt holder, many have sought to frame Lopez as the underdog against a difficult opponent, who has his sights set on GOAT boxer status.

But now, the star has vowed to bring everything he has in his effort to dismantle one of the toughest foes of his career thus far, on what will be a seismic night.
