Ryan Garcia calls out Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney after beating Conor Benn

The Brit talked a good fight but in the end, Garcia was right about being on another level

The talking is over. Garcia promised a statement and delivered it in two rounds with one violent right hand.

Ryan Garcia needed less than four minutes to blow away Conor Benn before turning his sights on the rest of the welterweight division. The 28-year-old American demolished Benn inside two rounds on Saturday night to retain his World Boxing Council championship at 147lb, dropping the British challenger with a concussive right hand before the referee stepped in moments later at T-Mobile Arena. Then, with Teófimo López taunting him from ringside and threatening to storm the ring, Garcia made it clear he was ready to take on all comers.

Ryan Garcia scored what turned out to be a pretty easy win over Conor Benn tonight via second round TKO, and in his post-fight interview, it appeared that the “worship music” he’d listened to pre-fight hadn’t made him feel entirely as peaceful as he claimed. Garcia made aggressive call-outs toward fellow welterweight titleholders Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney after his victory. He specifically called Lopez into the ring, shouting, “Teofimo, get that ass up here! Where you at? Unified time, where you at? Where you at, Teofimo?” As Lopez, who recently won the WBA welterweight title, tried to get to the ring, he was held back by security. Unlike earlier in the night, when the same security crew eventually let David Benavidez pass to go respectfully agree to a fight with Jai Opetaia, Teofimo was never allowed to pass. “You wanna get crazy, we can get crazy,” Garcia shouted from the ring. “I’ll beat your ass right now!” "Where you at Teofimo?!"

His message was clear: “We gotta clear this shit out. Hopefully we get to beat Devin Haney’s ass again for undisputed. Fuck the Haneys!” Garcia defeated Haney in 2024, before the result was overturned following Garcia’s failed post-fight drug test. Haney has since won the WBO welterweight title, while Garcia has the WBC belt.
