Inside Boxing | Rolly Romero vs. Teofimo Lopez preview, Amanda Serrano goes for KO record, Hamzah Sheeraz puzzling comments

from The Ariel Helwani Show · host Ariel Helwani

Dan Canobbio and Chris Algieri open the show previewing the welterweight title fight between Rolly Romero and Teofimo Lopez. Has the promotion done enough to sell this fight? What can we expect from Lopez as he enters his third weight class? Romero has not fought since his win over Ryan Garcia in May of 2025; will ring rust be a factor (3:38)? The attention then turns to a highly dramatic interview between Teofimo and his father where their failures in the Shakur Stevenson fight come to light. What type of mindset does Teofimo have entering this fight? Does he need a new trainer (17:03)? Hamzah Sheeraz was recently ordered by the WBO to defend his title against Janibek Alimkhanuly, which led him to join Ariel Helwani’s show and voice his displeasure with the fight due to Janibek’s positive test. Dan and Chris break down Sheeraz’s comments and why he is the wrong messenger for this (35:07). Finally, Amanda Serrano fights this weekend on the first-ever TikTok Live boxing card, as she attempts to break Christy Martin’s all-time knockout record (41:14).
