Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela has made his intentions clear, expressing interest in a potential showdown with newly crowned WBA lightweight champion Floyd Schofield.
Valenzuela’s message was direct: “Let’s make it happen!” The statement signals his willingness to face Schofield, putting the new champion on notice as attention turns to possible matchups in the lightweight division.
Schofield recently claimed the WBA lightweight title, giving him a new position in the division. With Valenzuela now expressing interest in a fight, a potential clash between the two could become an intriguing matchup if discussions progress.
For Schofield, a fight against Valenzuela would present an opportunity to test himself against another established name in the lightweight conversation. However, no agreement or official announcement has been confirmed, and it remains to be seen whether the callout will lead to negotiations.
Valenzuela, meanwhile, has shown that he is interested in pursuing the newly crowned champion. His public challenge adds another possible direction for Schofield as he begins his reign as WBA lightweight titleholder.
The lightweight division continues to offer several potential matchups, and public callouts can sometimes be the starting point for bigger fights. Whether this particular challenge develops into a confirmed contest will depend on the next steps taken by both sides.
For now, Valenzuela has put Schofield’s name forward as a potential opponent. The next move will determine whether the callout becomes more than just words and turns into a fight that boxing fans can look forward to.
