Teofimo Lopez has accomplished what few fighters ever will — becoming a three-division world champion. But at this stage of his career, boxing has become about something much bigger than himself.

In this episode of The Burn Factory, Teofimo opens up about his journey inside and outside the ring — from facing Rolly Romero and fighting someone he personally knew, to the loss against Shakur Stevenson and what that experience taught him about himself.

He also gets real about one of the most complicated and important relationships in his life: his father and longtime coach, Teofimo Lopez Sr.

Teofimo talks about the challenges of mixing family with boxing, why he stopped speaking to his father for a period after the Shakur loss, and how their relationship has inspired people who grew up without a father figure of their own.

Through the wins, losses, championships and everything in between, Teofimo explains why his purpose today goes far beyond collecting belts.

For him, it’s about using his journey to inspire somebody else.
