# De La Hoya ‘Moving On’ From Garcia-Tank Fight – New Opponent Lined Up

Teofimo Lopez will have an interesting guest at his fight this Saturday night.

[The 25-year-old Brooklynite looks to shake off some ring rust and return with a win against Pedro Campa](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/return-lopez-debuts-at-140lbs/) at Resorts World in Las Vegas.

It will mark the super lightweight debut of Lopez who will face Campa over 10 rounds.

Lopez has moved up a divsion after his world title [loss to George Kambosos](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/kambosos-jr-stuns-lopez-to-take-over-lightweight-division/) in November last year that was one of the upsets of 2022.

[The Australian has since lost his seat on the throne at lightweight after Devin Haney comfortably beat him](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/haney-becomes-undisputed-lightweight-king/) to become undisputed champion.

Another fighter who has left lightweight for the 140lbs class is Ryan Garcia. ‘KingRy’ and his promoter Oscar De La Hoya are keen to make a showdown against Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. But as [De La Hoya told ES News](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuswAUuHrjE), he is having a difficult time even speaking to someone.

> “We’re trying to get a hold of Tank’s side. We don’t know who to talk to. Nobody picks up their phone. Nobody calls back.”
>
> “I feel they’re playing games so I’m moving on and I’m going to Teofimo’s fight next week.”

Garcia had said that should a Tank Davis bout not materialise then his preferred alternative would be Lopez.

[The 23-year-old impressed in his last win against Javier Fortuna](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/garcia-fortuna-result-report-highlights/) and reiterated his desire to face Tank.

Davis’ promoter [Floyd Mayweather has already said that the Garcia fight can happen but only at 135lbs](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/mayweather-tells-garcia-to-fight-tank-at-135/) where his charge holds the WBA ‘Regular’ title.

Garcia said in his last post-fight interview that he was done with the lightweight division and now has his sights on those at super lightweight.
