Teofimo Lopez might have bagged a lucrative $6.02 million offer from Triller to defend his titles against George Kambosos. But he is still keen on facing the other champions at 135 lbs, expanding his radar to the extreme.
While Lopez was touted to face either Gervonta Davis, Devin Haney, or Ryan Garcia in his next appearance, George Kambosos has made it to the final stage. Meanwhile, ‘Takeover’ has already chalked up his post-fight plan and has named the most preferable opponent in the 135 lbs slot. He connected with the AK & Barak Show and talked about his ongoing plans.

Lopez said, “I would love to fight ‘Tank’ Davis. I would love to knock him out. A lot of people talk about it, there will be a 50-50 fight. I think that’s the most if we mentioned Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney and all that.”

Although Lopez is confident in overpowering every lightweight elite on his radar, he still posed Gervonta Davis as a threat. Billing it as a contest between equals, Lopez also pointed at people’s interests to validate his choice.
He added, “The guy I think, everybody thinks, will be a 50-50 would be me and ‘Tank’ Davis. Even I don’t believe it will be, I know what I can always bring to the table. I think a lot of people will like the fight.”

Lopez already has a title defense against Ferocious’ in the summer. However, the WBA champion, Gervonta Davis, doesn’t have an opponent in sight. After verbal banter with Ryan Garcia, most of the fans envisioned ‘Tank’ to collide with ‘KingRy’. However, that has fallen through and ‘Tank’ is on the lookout for his next fight.

There’s no way Lopez and Davis will fight each-other right at this point. But considering their undefeated championship runs at 135 lbs, we can surely see them lock horns somewhere down the line. Not only will it be an interesting fight, but it would be a contest that would allure the entire world.
