"After COVID hit, a lot of things went down in my career," Lopez told Yahoo Sports."Now, we're getting the ball rolling again. I'm so happy. I'm happy with Top Rank. I'm happy with ESPN. Everyone is playing along, everyone is being a team player. That's what it's about. I want to make these fights happen for the fans and the boxing community around the world.
