Lopez’s answer was May 2027. The two welterweight champions agree that they want a unification fight, but Lopez says a meeting with Garcia’s promoter has already put a later date in view.

Garcia challenged Teofimo on X after asking why other fighters did not want to face him. Teofimo replied that he and Golden Boy Boxing had met for lunch two days after Garcia’s win over Conor Benn.

“We’ve said that a showdown in May 2027 is ideal for the welterweight world championship unification fight," said Teofimo in response .
