Teofimo Lopez is willing to step into the ring with Ryan Garcia and is happy for the fight to take place this year.
Sitting high at the top of the 140lbs division, Lopez is no stranger to tough tests and he’s willing to take on one more against the popular Californian.
Earlier this month, Garcia caused a huge shock when he dropped Devin Haney three times to end the unbeaten run of his great rival.
Since the bout, Garcia has been linked to multiple high-profile fights and Lopez has provided a big update on his current situation.
“I talked to Top Rank about how I wanted this to be planned out. We said something to Ryan and his team that we can do something in September or December,” said Lopez when speaking to the Punsh Drunk podcast.
“It doesn’t have to be at my weight class. It can be a catchweight. So that way we don’t have to have any problems moving forward.”
