In a blockbuster announcement, it was revealed that boxing sensations Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney will share a fight card in May before a highly anticipated rematch later this year. The bouts, organized by Saudi Arabian sports impresario Turki Alalshikh, are set to electrify the boxing world.
Garcia and Haney to Headline Stacked May Card
In his first fight back from a year-long suspension, the explosive Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) will take on former champion Rolly Romero (16-2, 13 KOs) in a bout that promises fireworks. After scoring a stunning upset over Haney last year, Garcia will look to prove the doubters wrong once again.
Meanwhile, Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) aims to get back on track against Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs), himself a former unified world champion. Haney, who suffered multiple knockdowns in his loss to Garcia, will be out for redemption as he begins his campaign at welterweight.
“I can’t wait to get back in the ring and show everyone that the loss to Garcia was just a fluke. I’m still the best fighter in the world and I’ll prove it against Ramirez.”
– Devin Haney
Heavyweight Clash Rounds Out Event
Adding to the star power, heavyweight contenders Martin Bakole and Efe Ajagba will square off in an IBF title eliminator. The winner will become the mandatory challenger for the championship showdown between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker in February.
- Martin Bakole (21-1, 16 KOs): Coming off huge KO over Jared Anderson
- Efe Ajagba (20-1, 14 KOs): Scored split decision win over Guido Vianello in last outing
Stage Set for Epic Garcia-Haney Rematch
Should Garcia and Haney both emerge victorious in their May contests, a rematch for the ages looms on the horizon. After settling their lawsuit out of court, the bitter rivals are primed to run it back, this time in front of a massive audience in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“Me and Haney have unfinished business. I beat him once and I’ll do it again, this time in even more spectacular fashion. The world will witness me cement myself as the face of boxing.”
– Ryan Garcia
The May event, which will be branded as a Ring Magazine card, promises to be one of the most exciting nights of boxing in 2025. With Garcia and Haney leading the charge, a new era in the sport is dawning before our very eyes. Who will climb to the top of the mountain? We’ll find out soon enough.
