Together, we are building a complete team that reflects my commitment to becoming a world champion for my people and my determination to proudly raise the Puerto Rican flag high" said Lopez DeJesus.
"I am extremely excited to be working with Juanmita and his team. He is a very young and talented fighter, and has all of the tools to be a world champion in multiple weight divisions. He will add to the rich history of Puerto Rican champions. He is bilingual, he has a great personality and understands what it's going to take to fulfill his dreams," said Kahn
Lopez is promoted by Top Rank.
