Teofimo Lopez vs. Devin Haney: Top promoter keen to make fightGettyImages
The pair could meet in the ring.

Promoter Bob Arum hopes to make a super lightweight clash between Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney after his man fights this weekend.

Lopez defends his WBO belt against Steve Claggett this weekend ( live on on ESPN in the US ), and a win would cement his place as one of the best at 140lb. https://go.web.plus.espn.com/YgJmar

Haney is the WBC ‘champion in recess’ after his controversial no-contest clash with Ryan Garcia in April, when the latter failed to make weight.

The two fighters could meet for what would be a massive unification fight down the line, and speaking to Sky Sports , Arum was keen.

"There are a lot of 140lb champions who would make really good matches for Lopez," he said.

"There's Devin Haney - he and Haney would make a great fight.

"There is a lot of activity in those weight divisions and if Teofimo comes through, he has a lot of big fights in front of him."
