Veteran Promoter Remains Honest While Talking About Potential Ryan Garcia Vs Teofimo Lopez Fight

It looks like there’s a tantalizing prospect of a showdown between Ryan Garcia and Teofimo Lopez. Recently, Bob Arum, a boxing promoter, expressed his views on the same. Where Lopez defeated Josh Taylor in his last bout, Ryan lost against Gervonta Davis in his last fight. However, the proposition of them pairing up for a showdown looks a little complex.

Lopez is out of retirement and looking for a new challenger, while Garcia is still fighting an ongoing legal battle. Furthermore, the intrigue deepens as we delve into the ongoing lawsuit with Oscar De La  Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions. It’s a complication that puts Garcia vs. Lopez fight in jeopardy. However, Bob’s insights on the matchup might flicker a ray of hope. Moreover, only the future can unravel if ‘King Ry’ lands a world title fight against Lopez.

How does the legal battle of Ryan Garcia affect his fight with Lopez?

Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions’ current dispute with Ryan Garcia can have far-reaching consequences. Where the details of the lawsuit are unclear, it could potentially impact Garcia vs. Lopez’s bout.

Seeing that, Bob Arum also sheds light on the fight. When the interviewer asked him about it, he had a prompt response.  In a recent interview, Bob Arum hinted at talks with ‘Golden Boy’ for the fight but also alluded to the complexities surrounding Garcia’s involvement.

He said,  “I’ve talked to Oscar, I’ve talked to Eric, who were good friends, and they would like to make that fight. It depends on their relationship with Ryan, and I don’t want to get into it because I don’t know enough about it. But if they can truly produce Ryan, that would be a huge fight for both guys, and I would certainly be interested in it.”

Notwithstanding the present situation, it looks like Ryan has strong intentions of making this fight happen.

Is Garcia desperate to make the fight happen?

In an interview with Fight Hype, Teofimo Lopez informed that Ryan Garcia DM’ed him regarding the fight. As Lopez has established his name in the light welterweight division by his recent win, he is now in high demand. So, according to Lopez, Garcia is quite interested in fighting Lopez. 

He said, “Ryan DM’d me and everything. Bro’s desperate for a payday. He DM’d me after the Josh Taylor fight. I deleted it. Ryan just said that if I’m looking forward to it, ‘We could make some good money, and we can make the fight happen.”
