Teofimo Lopez vs Pedro Campa Post-match Reactions and Next Fight for Lopez
If Lopez wants to fight in December, at least, it will be difficult for him to schedule fight against Josh Taylor, who has previously relinquished the WBA and WBC crowns. Currently, Taylor is considering a rematch with Jack Catterall of England, despite the fact that he must first defend his IBF title against Jeremias Ponce. The vacant WBC title bout between Prograis and Zepeda is currently being discussed, and it’s anticipated to happen in the fourth quarter of 2022.
The most likely candidates for Lopez’s opponent at the end of the year are two boxers, who were present ringside on Saturday. When Lopez first talked about moving to 140 pounds, Arnold Barboza, an unbeaten junior welterweight challenger, was first suggested. Oscar De La Hoya, a former six-division champion who now works for Golden Boy Promotions and promotes Ryan Garcia, an unbeaten rising star, was also present. Garcia would be the only contender to meet that criteria, assuming he’s even available, despite Lopez’s assertion that his upcoming fight will be broadcast live on pay-per-view.
