Teofimo Lopez told Garvonta Davis “Let go of his pride.” For him to fight against her and other warriors. Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs) feels Garvonta's ego is preventing him from getting big fights against her and others in the sport.
Teok sounds like an in-demand star that Tank Davis has been missing out on as he's been in career freefall since losing to George Cambos Jr. in 2021. Lopez's career is is about to disappear After his recently signed three-war deal with Turki al-Sheikh expires in early 2026.
Teofimo is headed to the 147-lb division in October 2025 with IBF welterweight champion Jaron 'Boots' Ennis. After he probably loses, he will likely be there to lose the Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia 2 rematch in February 2026.
WBO light welterweight champion Teofomo may be showing his flaws on the tank (30-0, 28 KOs), as he has derailed his career by opting out of fights against Subriel Matias and preventing clashes against George Kambossos Jr. and Devin Haney.
“He just has to let go of his pride and arrogance. Just play business, bro,” Teofimo Lopez said Fight Hub TV About whether Garvonta Davis can fight him and other fighters at 140. “You really want to fight us, how can we make it happen. We all want to fight each other.”
List of must-fight tanks
Ryan Garcia
Devin Haney
Vasily Lomachenko
Teofimo and Shakur Stevenson aren't talented or popular enough to make Garvonta's prestigious list of fighters who will have the chance to fight him. If Teo doesn't get washed up and ruin his career by fighting, he can probably fight Tank. It's too late now though.
Al-Sheikh's gamble on Lopez
- Richardson Hitchins: IBF and WBO light welterweight unification bout, possible for April.
- Jaron 'Boots' Ennis: October fight
- Winner or loser of the Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia rematch. Teofimo will potentially fight one of them in February 2026.
