‘The Takeover’s latest claims have taken the boxing world by storm. The WBO light welterweight champion, who made a successful defense on June 29, has been grabbing headlines for his callouts. The exchange with Terence Crawford especially gained considerable traction.

But his claim of having sent contracts to Devin Haney and George Kambosos Jr. has caused quite a stir. Despite their collective tenure in the lightweight division, Haney and Teofimo Lopez never crossed paths. Kambosos Jr., on the other hand, has the distinction of defeating Lopez, his lone professional loss. Understandably, the news has drawn a string of reactions. Though he took the opportunity to offer a word of caution, Ryan Garcia‘s father, Henry Garcia, also joined the fray.

Henry Garcia: Take care with your moves Devin Haney

An Instagram post from Eli Seckbach featured footage of Lopez in an open workout. The boxing reporter wrote, “@teofimolopez, one of the best P4P champs, offers Kambosos and Haney 2.4 million up front and a 55/45 split on the PPV. Both said no to the fight—why do you think that is?”

It didn’t take long before many fans and followers started sharing their thoughts and views. One of the responses came from Henry Garcia. His son fought Devin Haney on April 20 this year. However, following his failure to clear the tests for banned substances, the fight, which Ryan Garcia initially won by a majority decision, was later turned into a ‘no contest’.

Ryan Garcia received a one-year suspension from boxing alongside a range of financial penalties. A few months later, Devin Haney, who had been on a break, returned with a bang. He filed a lawsuit against the younger Garcia for ‘battery, fraud, and breach of contract.’.

Perhaps Henry Garcia didn’t want the world to forget the Devin Haney move. Doubtful whether ‘The Dream’ would ever challenge Teofimo Lopez or, for that matter, Oscar Duarte, who was incidentally beaten by his son last year, Garcia Sr. shot a word of caution: “Haney won’t take the fight till next year. I really don’t think he would challenge Teo or Oscar Duarte. Plus one of the conditions on paper should be he cannot sue if he gets beat up.”

Teofimo Lopez through recent developments

Tagging both Devin Haney and George Kambosos Jr., Teofimo Lopez tweeted, “We sent reasonable offers to fight to both Team Haney and Team Kambosos. Both have declined! If you don’t believe it, ask @trboxing and @BruceTrampler. You bums on that WITSEC!“

When one of the users checked what he meant by a ‘reasonable’ offer, Teofimo Lopez replied, “$2.4M guaranteed & 55/45 split on PPV Shares.” The message follows his latest revelation, where he mentioned that he had not received any fight offer from Devin Haney’s team. He confirmed this during a conversation with Eli Seckbach, following reports that Haney was reportedly considering a mega fight with ‘The Takeover’ next year.

“This could happen, but right now we haven’t had any contracts sent to us. We don’t know what’s going on, but hey, they want to keep the rumors,” said Teofimo Lopez while attending ‘Magic City Fight Night’ at Club 11 in Miami. While fans are yet to come across a reply from Devin Haney’s corner, they were nevertheless treated to some colorful responses from George Kambosos Jr.

Which matchup would make up for a mega headliner: Teofimo Lopez vs. Devin Haney or Teofimo Lopez vs. George Kambosos Jr. 2?
