On a video uploaded to social media, Lopez's dad was seen swearing and threatening Kambosos and his father, before walking over to Kambosos Sr. The two engaged in a brief shove before they were separated by security.<\/p>\n

"Kambosos, you're gonna get your ass kicked," Teofimo Sr. screamed when he entered the gym as Kambosos was being interviewed. "First round baby," he continued.<\/p>\n

"F— off, motherf—–. C'mon you big mouth. Come over here," George Sr. shouted as Teofimo Sr. went on predicting his son would win in the first round. "You wanna walk across this f—-in' line? Alright. I'm gonna f— you up first."<\/p>\n

Lopez's father then turned his attention to Kambosos who was standing in the ring, staring down his rival's father.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lopez Sr fired: "F— you, motherf—–. F— you and your coach, you f—in' pussies. You got an MMA coach. You got an MMA coach, b—h.<\/p>\n

"F— you, b—h, First round knockout, b—h. What are you gonna do when my son whips you down?"<\/p>\n

Lopez's dad walked past his son conducting and interview and demanded he "f— this motherf—– up, bro."<\/p>\n

"That's a given," Lopez replied.<\/p>\n

"Take him out of the arena and f— up his father, too," Teofimo Sr. responded.<\/p>\n

The fight will be Lopez's second defence of his IBF lightweight title and the first as lineal\/WBA\/WBO champion.<\/p>\n

The clash has been rescheduled at least six times since it was first mandated earlier this year.<\/p>\n
