Boxing: Teofimo Lopez beats Rolando Romero to claim WBA welterweight title

American Teofimo Lopez defeated Rolando Romero by majority decision at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday to claim the WBA 'Super' welterweight world title, becoming a three-weight world champion having previously held titles at lightweight and light-welterweight. The 29-year-old notably declined to call out mandatory challenger Jack Catterall of Britain as his next opponent. Lopez instead stated his preference to fight the winner of an upcoming WBC welterweight title bout.
