27 Oct 2025
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I came from nothing to something, lost it. But then if you could make nothing into something, you could do it every time. So you got to gamble on yourself every second of the way. You take your scars with you, you carry them, and it reminds you of why you went through that. But you got to really go through that. What's for you is always going to be there for you.
Chapter 2: What inspired Teofimo Lopez's mindset shift toward resilience?
People could derail it, delay it. They know it. But the thing is, like, are you willing to avoid all that? Are you willing to not entertain it and allow it to just come to you? It's really hard. Be grateful for it.
Chapter 3: How does Teofimo Lopez define 'betting on yourself' in daily life?
Be thankful for it. Be like, this teaching me. This teaching me. This holding me. This is letting me. grow and sprout to be something more than I probably think I can ever be.
Chapter 4: What does Teofimo think about the evolution of boxing and exhibition matches?
All right, guys, we got Tio Fimo here today. Celebrity poker tournament. You made a deep run.
Yeah, I did. You know, I did all right. I had a good time though. Overall. I like, I like actually playing out here. So yeah, you play a lot of poker these days. I'm going to start tapping in more. I really want to get to that final table.
You know, you got to transition from boxing to poker. It looks like.
yeah you know um to be honest a lot of us too and you got paulo costa right now he's in the final table so you know he's repping for all combat athletes and you know rooting for him yeah you got any fights coming up For myself, right now, yeah, we're in talks between a fight in December. Can't really mention who. Don't want that to fall out. And then January with Shakur Stevenson. Nice.
So either way.

Chapter 5: How has fatherhood changed Teofimo's perspective on life and boxing?
Netflix. I even said I pitched out that I would like to fight on that. I don't even care at this point. Just to have maybe one real fight. But it's great. It's great for entertainment. And kudos to Jake Paul.
chavonte davis you know one of the world's renowned fighters that people a lot of people like to watch and tune in so yeah should be a good exciting fight who you got winning it's an exhibition so it's not gonna matter okay so you treat that in a different category than a real boxing fight Yeah, it's like who you like picking back then. Think about WrestleMania. I forget what number.
I should do my research on that part. But think about it like the big show versus Mayweather. You know, who you got winning, right? But it's an exhibition. It's kind of already prompt to see who's going to win. I feel that. Put on some brass knuckles at the end.
Chapter 6: What practical habits does Teofimo use to stay grounded as a champion?
Bam. So it's stuff like that. I think that's happening again in today's boxing world.
Do you think that's good for boxing or do you kind of just...
Boxing is not boxing no more. It's a it's a it's a commercialized sport. Yeah, that's all it is. So, you know, for all those young ones that are out there really wanting to focus on this as a career, have I would say have like two, two or three other things in line. Focus more on like your educational part and build on investments. Yeah.
Chapter 7: Why does Teofimo believe comfort can hinder greatness?
Just as a safety measure.
Wow. That's good advice. I mean, I mean, you're living it every day, right?
Yeah, absolutely. I love it. Don't get me wrong. I am me on my scale level. And I think those on the mass table, they will know I am a 10 time world champion, two time undisputed. However, on a technical part of it, seven times within just eight years. Yeah. And really solidified my Hall of Fame at 25.
That's young.
Then we have right now Canelo versus Crawford in a couple weeks from now, which is exciting. It's great. You have all the parties and homes that are coming in as far as TKO, Dana White, Super Bowl boxing. What do you think of Dana White getting involved with boxing? That's kind of like rude. See, and that's the thing, too. Like when you're a boxer, what the thing is, too, is hard for me.
One thing I cannot have in my career, my life is get on that on that white wall mugshot. I cannot battling with the masses that I face. I that's just one thing I can't commit to. But that's kind of rude. You know, obviously that's kind of disrespectful on any level. And sometimes I do want to slap a guy like that.
Yeah.
yeah uh but gotta be a bigger person yeah i know he spoke negatively about boxing in the past right i'm talking about this guy that walked out in the room excuse my language what happened to him he shouldn't just walk out if we're doing these type of interviews you know what i'm saying as long as it's not i don't know if it's pre-recorded so that's fine yeah i could edit or if it's live yeah we could edit that out my bad i didn't know what that guy was doing
You know what I'm saying? It's kind of like a fuck you.

Chapter 8: What career advice does Teofimo have for young fighters?
Yeah.
Just because people have this persona thinking that I'm racist. And I think that's one of the questions that we could talk about, too.
People think you're racist. Why?
I think that people are in the genre or in this. That's why I was talking about before we got on. It's like. Not to get too on it, I grew up on the boxers, Marvin Hagler, Muhammad Ali. You even think about some of the young Latinos in that sense, Roberto Duran, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., And you think about these things and my whole thing to it is they used to amp up stuff without any consequences.
They used to talk and everything was marketing. You know what I mean? And I still kind of hold that mentality. However, we're in a time and stage, which I'm not upset about. It's just something I got to adjust to is that you can't say certain things. Even in the early 2000s, they used to come out with movies and so on and so forth where you could say faggot and all these things.
You can't say that no more. Yeah, you can say gay. You can say faggot, retarded. You can't say, let's say nigga, because I'm from Brooklyn. But people get upset. I don't understand this shit. It's just because of, you know what it really takes as a professional fighter, but to really hold it down for everybody.
I got people from the pen anywhere across the nation, not even New York, that really respect and love what I'm doing. That's a real nigga. That's a real person. That's what it means. See, when you think of, I even think,
what's it called you had uh Eazy-E's son you know he's he makes a funny joke about it but it's true black and brown is how you get down and what are we getting September 13th black and brown is how we're gonna get down for boxing against Canelo versus Crawford you know and and it's still there but it's somewhat in the surface and I think that's not right but I gotta adjust to it because if not you get um so-called canceled or eliminated you lose sponsors you lose money right
It's not even that. It's just that now people think that you're difficult to work with, but you're making it, right? There's no such thing as bad publicity until you rape a child or until you hit a woman in a man's perspective, right? Or you murder somebody and go to jail, right, for life. I think I hold those things as, as yeah, you know, definitely.
