5 fights that could be next for Teofimo LopezGettyImages
Teofimo Lopez beat Jamaine Ortiz recently.

Teofimo Lopez retained his world title by the narrowest of margins with a points win over Jamaine Ortiz. 

Lopez is no stranger to the big fights and with 140lbs, and the divisions around it, heating up, who will be next for the talented New Yorker? 

Here, DAZN looks at five options Lopez could explore in 2024. 

Terence Crawford 

The fight Lopez keeps calling for and one that would force him to test the deep waters at welterweight against one of the game’s best fighters. 

Terence Crawford’s next move is still unknown, but if he wants to remain at 147lbs then Lopez is more than willing to step up and face him. 

Devin Haney 

Rumours are linking Haney to a showdown with Ryan Garcia later this year, but a unification with Lopez could tempt the current WBC champion. 

Haney knows what it feels like to be an undisputed champion after ruling at 135lbs, and he can take one step closer to the same status at super-lightweight if a fight with Lopez can be arranged. 

Ryan Garcia 

One of boxing’s most popular fighters, Ryan Garcia is aiming to make a big impact in 2024 after losing to Gervonta Davis last year. 

The Californian still hasn't won a world title despite featuring in so many high-profile bouts but he would have the opportunity to become champion if he faced Lopez. 

Keyshawn Davis 

The fast-rising star had plenty to say about Lopez after the fight with Ortiz, but is Keyshawn Davis a legitimate contender? 

There’s plenty to like about him so far in his career and if he keeps on performing well, he might make it onto the radar of Garcia. 

Subriel Matias 

Subriel Matias is well known in boxing circles but the heavy-handed Puerto Rican still hasn't landed the big fight that can give him further exposure. 

The IBF 140lbs champion desperately wants a big fight in 2024 and a unification bout with Lopez would see the winner become unified champion.
