Ryan Garcia Returns to Ring vs Rolly Romero May 2

Ryan Garcia is set to make his return to boxing after a year-long suspension for a failed drug test, headlining a major Times Square event against Rolando 'Rolly' Romero. Garcia's last fight, a controversial win over Devin Haney, was overturned to a no contest due to his positive test for Ostarine, resulting in a substantial fine and a 12-month ban. Now focused and claiming peak physical and mental condition, Garcia is the heavy betting favorite, but faces a dangerous puncher in Romero, who has only lost to top-tier opponents. The outcome is seen as pivotal for both fighters: a win could propel Garcia toward a high-profile Haney rematch, while a loss would be a significant setback for Romero's career. Garcia has emphasized his intention to dominate both Romero and, eventually, Haney, while Romero is determined to seize what may be his last major opportunity. The event, promoted by The Ring Magazine under Turki Al-Sheikh's new leadership, marks the magazine's first foray into global fight promotion.
