Overview

  • Ryan Garcia faces Rolando Romero tonight in Times Square, competing for the vacant WBA welterweight title after a year-long suspension for a failed drug test.
  • Devin Haney and Jose Ramirez square off in the co-main event, with Haney aiming to secure a rematch with Garcia later this year if both win their respective fights.
  • Teofimo Lopez defends his WBO super-lightweight title against undefeated Arnold Barboza Jr. in a highly anticipated undercard bout.
  • The event, backed by Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh and the GEA, is the first boxing match to take place in Times Square and is available on DAZN PPV.
  • Garcia’s suspension followed his April 2024 no-contest decision against Haney, where he tested positive for ostarine and missed weight by over three pounds.
