Ryan Garcia challenges Teofimo Lopez and proposes Pacquiao bout

Professional boxer Ryan Garcia has issued several challenges and proposals regarding upcoming fight dates. Garcia has publicly challenged WBA champion Teofimo Lopez to a December unification bout. However, Lopez is currently under orders to negotiate with Jack Catterall, and a decision regarding a fight with Garcia would depend on whether Lopez can secure an exception or reach an agreement with Catterall.

In a separate proposal, Garcia suggested a matchup against Manny Pacquiao on Netflix as a contingency plan should the scheduled December 11 heavyweight bout between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua fail to materialize.

Regarding retired three-division undisputed champion Terence Crawford, Teofimo Lopez commented that Crawford would likely only return to the ring for a fight against Floyd Mayweather, dismissing ongoing speculation that Crawford might face Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.
