Ryan Garcia<\/a> has sent a warning to Floyd Mayweather over their proposed fight.<\/p>\n

After successfully defending his WBC welterweight title against Conor Benn in September<\/a>, Garcia was linked to a shock match-up against boxing legend Mayweather.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been nearly a decade since Mayweather last competed professionally, with his last bout coming in August 2017 against Conor McGregor, but the 49-year-old has been in talks for a return throughout 2026.<\/p>\n

Initially it seemed like that could come against former foe Manny Pacquiao, but after that bout failed to materialise, Garcia has now emerged as the surprise frontrunner to face Mayweather.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018King Ry\u2019 has made it clear that he won\u2019t be waiting forever though, after posting on social media<\/a> to insist that Mayweather doesn\u2019t have long left to agree to the match-up.<\/p>\n

\u201cATTENTION RED FLOYD MAYWEATHER. You called me and wanted this fight and I agree this is a big fight. But I am fighting FEB 6th regardless so unless you actually make this happen then this fight is gone.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can go fight whoever but this is for a championship. I will TAKE you 0 with pleasure. Final warning no more games let\u2019s make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Garcia insisting that he will be fighting in February no matter what, the likely opponent if not Mayweather appears to be WBA welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez.<\/p>\n

If it does happen, it may not be a unification clash though, as Lopez has been ordered to defend his belt against mandatory challenger Jack Catterall, so could be forced to vacate if he is to go ahead with a Garcia fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Garcia has sent a warning to Floyd Mayweather over their proposed fight.
