Jack Catterall could thwart Garcia vs Teo?

Jack Catterall tells DAZN that Garcia won’t fight Teofimo Lopez next.

“Not on my watch. I’m mandatory for [Lopez’s] WBA title, I’ve been vocal about it. Fight me or vacate. I’m next in line for that.

“I’m not asking for any favours. I’ve not got the biggest profile, I don’t talk the most s***, but […] I’ve earned my position on merit.”

Garcia vs Teofimo Lopez next??

Teofimo Lopez tries to get in the ring to face off with Garcia. That would be a fun option next.

Lopez just won the WBA belt by outpointing Rolly Romero, who dropped and outpointed Garcia last May.

A rematch with Devin Haney, who holds the WBO belt, would also be a big fight for Garcia.

More from Garcia

Garcia tells DAZN: “I was just so prepared, I was so focused. I was more than focused, I was ready to go. What a performance, bro, what a performance.

“I mean, look: the first round, I knew he was gonna put mad pressure [on]. I caught him with a couple of shots, but I thought: ‘Alright, I’m gonna let him have his way here.’

“The next round, I stood my ground a little bit, and I knew… He was coming in reckless. I already watched all his fights. You can’t come in there like that with me; he was better off running around the first few rounds.

“I’ve got thunder in both hands, man. They’re both ready to go now.

“I’m here, you can trust me as champion. I’m not gonna f*** around.”
