Matchroom's Eddie Hearn has called for WBO super lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez to face one of his new signings, IBF title holder Subriel Matias.
Lopez made a successful first defence of his title last week with a unanimous decision win over Jamaine Ortiz in Las Vegas. However, Lopez's performance was met with criticism with some doubting whether he could be a force at 140lbs.
Following his win, Lopez continued to call out for a clash with unified welterweight champion Terence Crawford, but the Nebraska fighter has been quick to dismiss any challenges from Lopez.
Now Hearn has called for Lopez to face Matias in what would be a huge unification fight when detailing his plans for the Puerto Rican during an interview with Matchroom Boxing's YouTube channel.
"I want him [Matias] to fight all the big fights at 140lbs," Hearn said.
"You’ve got the winner of Haney against Ryan Garcia, just give me Teofimo Lopez for Subriel Matias.
"Please if you’re watching this, Teofimo Lopez please fight Subriel Matias, it will make me smile."
