Bob Arum has welcomed the idea of Teofimo Lopez facing Ryan Garcia at some point in 2024 following discussions with Oscar De La Hoya.
The Top Rank promoter, who guided De La Hoya for a number of years, is currently promoting Lopez's career and he’s fully onboard with the prospect of his man facing Garcia.
Earlier this year, Lopez reminded everybody of his qualities when he produced a stunning display to end Josh Taylor’s unbeaten run.
The win catapulted Lopez back into lucrative boxing conversations and if a showdown with Garcia can be secured, it’s a further chance to boost his list of impressive credentials.
“I think that’s a great idea,” said Arum when discussing the matter with FightHub.
“Oscar [De La Hoya], I consider a good friend. I promoted him for so many years, so I think that hopefully, that fight can come together.”
