Teofimo López signs exclusive multi‑fight deal with DAZN

Boxing world‑champion Teófimo López (22‑2, 13 KOs) has entered an exclusive multi‑fight agreement with streaming platform DAZN through his Takeover Promotions LLC. The terms of the contract, such as length and number of fights, were not disclosed.

The first bout under the deal will see López challenge WBA welterweight champion Rolando “Rolly” Romero on 22 August at the T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, featured on a Premier Boxing Champions card. By signing directly with a broadcaster, López bypasses the traditional promoter model, gaining greater control over his career while DAZN may rely on partner promoters to handle event logistics. The arrangement highlights DAZN’s strategy to secure top‑tier talent without conventional promoters and could influence the business structure of professional boxing.
