"When I see your arse, you don't look in my direction." Crawford replied to Lopez

The former undisputed champion in the welterweight division, Terence Crawford, responded to Teofimo Lopez's challenge.

In his social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Crawford expressed that Teofimo is a "petty" individual and advised him to concern himself with his own opponents.

"It would be better if you focused on those guys in your weight class. Every time I see your backside, you don't even glance my way, but when you're in front of the camera, you have something to say," declared Terence Crawford.

He added that Lopez should better prepare for his upcoming opponent, Jamaine Ortiz. According to Crawford, Ortiz knows how to fight, so Teofimo should concentrate on that bout rather than thinking about facing Crawford.

Recall that Lopez challenged Crawford to a fight in the welterweight division, stating that he is not here to play games but to compete with the best. According to Teofimo, the fighters Crawford faced were "handicapped."

Incidentally, Lopez is set to have a bout against Jamaine Ortiz on February 8. Crawford, in July, secured an early victory over Spence, becoming the undisputed world champion in the welterweight division. However, a few months later, he lost the IBF title due to his inability to fulfill the mandatory defense against Jaron Ennis.
