Title: Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney Set to Square Off Again: A Rematch Breakdown
Boxing fans, brace yourselves! After teasing us with an image on social media, it's officially confirmed that Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney are set for a rematch in August. But before they dive back into the ring, they've got some exciting battles ahead in May.
This week has been a game-changer in the boxing world, with major fights on the horizon, and it seems like Ring Magazine's awards show in January could become boxing's equivalent of baseball's winter meetings.
According to Turki Alalshikh, the owner of Ring Magazine and head of Riyadh Season, Garcia and Haney have agreed to a rematch. While the exact details are still under wraps, it's speculated to take place in August. But before they reach that point, both fighters will square off against different opponents in May. If they emerge victorious, the highly anticipated rematch is set to take place in October.
Devin Haney has confirmed his opponent for the May fight, which will serve as the co-main event of the card. He'll be facing off against Jose Ramirez. Meanwhile, Ryan Garcia will step into the ring against Rolando Romero for the main event. The exact venue and date for these May battles are yet to be announced.
Ryan Garcia couldn't contain his excitement and shared on social media, "I can't wait for you guys to see who I'm fighting. One thing you can't say about me is I take weak fights ever. Only one really doing it." It's clear Garcia is out to prove a point in his upcoming fight.
Teofimo Lopez has also entered the conversation, revealing his interest in joining the welterweight division. Lopez replied to Garcia's post, saying, "Let's see if you finish the job so we get the 147 fight." It's unclear if and how Lopez fits into this equation, but the welterweight division is definitely heating up.
The delay in the rematch allows both sides and Alalshikh to ensure the fighters are at their best after their extended layoffs. The May fights should serve to knock the rust off and build anticipation for the much-awaited showdown later in the year. Moreover, the delay gives them enough time to settle any pending legal issues, which might have otherwise complicated negotiations.
With all this buzz surrounding boxing, it's clear that the sport is far from dead. In fact, it's just getting started. We can't wait to see what unfolds in the coming months. Stay tuned for more updates!
