Here's what he said in an interview with Fight Hub TV: "He said, 'It ain't over til we say it's over.' That's all I needed, that amped me up... He's an amazing dude and he was like, 'All grace to Allah and to God man.' That's really what it comes down to. I thank him for that phone call. Thank you champ. Thank you for the motivation.

Watch the full interview: Teofimo Lopez on his knockout win against Pedro Campa Teofimo Lopez continued by explaining how he wasn't looking for the knockout against Campa. Instead, he was working on a variety of skills and managed to hurt his opponent naturally. He added: "No, I wasn't focused on the knockout. Just focus on timing, working on different things. Wanting to show you guys my catch and shoot things that I've been working on. My defence was great today, you know. I still got to work on a couple things overall. However, you know God does the work for me. You know what I'm saying? Seventh round knockout. Two five, twenty five, two plus five, seven." Lopez suffered a shock defeat to George Kambosos Jr. back in November 2021. Despite being the strong favourite, 'The Takeover' was outworked and lost a 12-round split decision. The American was relieved of the IBF, WBO and WBA Lightweight Championships that he won off Vasyl Lomachenko in 2020.
