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 battle who will check the waters at 147 lbs first. That leaves some open time for Garcia within the interim, and when you’ve been following social media in current days there are indications that Ryan Garcia could battle Teofimo Lopez subsequent.
Yesterday Garcia posted a message on X which mentioned “I can’t watch for you guys to see who I’m combating. One factor you’ll be able to’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 ready. Large information coming quickly. Unique within the Ring Journal. Lets get boxing nice once more.”
That promoted lots of hypothesis on who Garcia’s subsequent opponent would possibly truly be, however with Teofimo Lopez chiming in to retweet Alalshikh, it appears to level in a selected path.
“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 publish a proper announcement of Garcia’s subsequent battle will come via Ring Journal, which was just lately acquired by Alalshikh, however the tea leaves appear fairly clear so far as I can learn them.
