It’s just about a given at this level that Ryan Garcia may have a rematch with Devin Haney earlier than 2025 is over, nevertheless it received’t be Haney’s subsequent combat who will check the waters at 147 lbs first. That leaves some open time for Garcia within the interim, and in the event you’ve been following social media in latest days there are indications that Ryan Garcia might combat Teofimo Lopez subsequent.
Yesterday Garcia posted a message on X which mentioned “I can’t anticipate you guys to see who I’m preventing. One factor you possibly can’t say about me is I take weak fights ever. Just one actually doing it.”
Later within the day Turki Alalshikh posted his personal message and picture of Garcia signing a contract whereas writing “The deal is finished. The opponent is about. Massive information coming quickly. Unique within the Ring Journal. Lets get boxing nice once more.”
That promoted a number of hypothesis on who Garcia’s subsequent opponent may truly be, however with Teofimo Lopez chiming in to retweet Alalshikh, it appears to level in a specific course.
“Let’s the video games start,” Lopez posted on X with a handshake emoji, with Lopez additionally tagging Alalshikh.
Clearly based mostly upon Alalshikh’s personal submit a proper announcement of Garcia’s subsequent combat will come by means of Ring Journal, which was not too long ago acquired by Alalshikh, however the tea leaves appear fairly clear so far as I can learn them.
