Ryan Garcia vs. Teofimo Lopez Talks Target February 6

Cruz called for Ryan after stopping Nestor Bravo in six rounds Saturday night in San Diego. Ryan quickly accepted and indicated that an offer would follow.

Preliminary discussions have taken place between representatives for Ryan and Lopez. Chris Mannix revealed that talks have targeted February 6, 2027, at Madison Square Garden.

“There have been conversations between the representatives of Garcia and Lopez about making a Garcia versus Lopez fight, to the point where the conversations even got to a spot where they talked about a date, which is early February. I think February 6th is the date that I was told, and the location is Madison Square Garden in New York City," said Mannix on his channel.
