Ryan Garcia says he will fight Teofimo Lopez when he returns to the ring after his suspension this year. That’s consistent with what Garcia’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya said.

Garcia moves on

Oscar said there’s no point in Ryan fighting Devin Haney again because he’s already “destroyed” him. He said he wants Garcia to face WBO light welterweight champion Teofimo (21-1, 13 KOs), who has no opponent after choosing not to defend Subril Matias.

Teofimo’s career has stalled since losing to George Kambosos Jr. in 2021. Although he won the WBO 140-pound title from a washed-up Josh Taylor in 2023, he’s seen fights against Steve Cratchit, Jamaine Ortiz and Xander Martin It looks terrible.

It’s obvious that Top Rank was wrong about Teofimo and should have dumped him after losing to Kambosos instead of giving him a contract extension. He hasn’t shown any improvement since that loss.

Garcia said he would “overturn” Haney, but he would need to drop the lawsuit against Haney. Haney has not said whether he will do so, but his recent comments suggest he won’t. Unfortunately, this put him in a difficult situation, but he still had Turki Sheikh. He still believes in him and will help him this year.

If Devin loses once or twice this year, Turki will get a clue and will likely pass on him. He will realize that he is not worth the time and money artificially spent to support him. Turki had better give up on Hani early because he is already doomed.

“I’m gonna call him a**” – Garcia

“Whatever happens, I’ll be ready. Looks like I’m going to fight Teofimo Lopez. So, that’s good. I saw him today. He was a little weird, but other than that I was ready to yell at him. ” said Ryan Garcia. Out in seconds On his next fight with Teofimo Lopez.

“I don’t know. You’ll have to wait and see,” Ryan said when asked about his fight with Teofimo. “But after I fight him, I’ll be the first to fight all three of the so-called ‘Four Kings.’ I’m the only one of them to have fought all of them. Tank, Devon and Te’o Fimo Lopez.

“I’m here actually throwing it away with everyone. It seems like everyone is scared or whatever is going on here

“Not for me,” Ryan said when asked if it was important to fight Devin Haney again so he could be vindicated after his win was tainted by the New York State Athletic Commission following a positive drug test and taken away. “Fighting Teofimo Lopez would be as satisfying as my rematch with Devin.”

At this point, Ryan will get more credit for beating Teofimo than Haney because he already beat Teofimo. He beat Haney in the ring from the first round.

Since Haney whipped Garcia last April, few would have given him a chance in a rematch with Garcia.

The boxing world is very interested in Garcia vs. Teofimo because the two have never fought before. The WBO 140-pound belt will be on the line and Teofimo can do his part to help push that fight forward. For his part, Devin relies on his father, Bill, to do most of the work of generating interest. That doesn’t work either.

“Again, I’m not saying I won’t. I will fall with him (Haney) again, but they have to stop all this crap (drop the lawsuit) before I get in there,” Garcia said.

Haney and Bill don’t appear to be giving up on the lawsuit. They appear to be stuck and will likely fight to the bitter end with their suits, although doing so would be shooting themselves in the foot.
