Having already beaten some huge names in the world of boxing, we have decided to take an in depth look into the career of Teofimo Lopez. This includes Lopez’s net worth, career earnings, biggest career purse and his endorsement deals.
Teofimo Lopez Net Worth
Teofimo Lopez has been a professional boxer since he turn over back in 2016. He has been boxing consistently for the best part of eight years now in the pro ranks, earning more and more money as his career has progressed.
In his short career to date and being just 26-years-old, Teofimo Lopez has become one of the biggest stars in the sport. ‘The Takeover’ has well and truly lived up to his nickname, becoming undisputed world champion at just 23-years-old.
Now, after a tough 18 month period in his career, Lopez is back on top after becoming a two-weight world champion. Lopez put on an incredible performance against Josh Taylor on June 10, 2023, winning the fight via unanimous decision as the underdog with the best offshore sportsbooks. He then defended his belt successfully against Jamaine Ortiz last time out.
As of today, it is reported that Teofimo Lopez’s net worth is $5 million (source: CA Knowledge).
Not only does Lopez have a $5 million net worth, but he is also a huge celebrity in his home town of New York. He is without a doubt one of the most recognisable figures in American boxing terms, hence why he makes millions of dollars every time he fights.
This figure of $5 million is likely to grow for the former unified lightweight champion as his career goes on too. $5m is possibly even an under estimation of Lopez’s net worth, given the fact he is a world champion again and has beaten fighters of the elk of Vasyl Lomachenko and Josh Taylor.
Once again, the net worth of Teofimo Lopez is sure to catapult even higher as his career rolls on. He is still a baby in boxing terms at just 26, so there are certainly some huge pay-days and massive nights ahead for ‘The Takeover’.

Not only is this huge endorsement deal with Bud Light a big earner for ‘Teo’, but he is also currently endorsed by the likes of Essentia Water, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Budweiser, Coca-Cola and Walt Disney World Ambassadors to name but a few.
On top of all of these sponsors, Teofimo Lopez is the CEO of Takeover Promotions Inc. This company was founded to help lead the new generation to financial literacy.
