Cinco de Mayo weekend will feature a series of exciting boxing events. One of the highlights will be Ryan Garcia facing off against former junior welterweight champion Rolando “Rolly” Romero. This “Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves” event is scheduled to take place in New York’s Times Square on Friday, May 2.
Garcia is set to make a return to the ring. His last fight in April 2024, which he initially won against Devin Haney, was marred by a failed drug test. The presence of the banned substance Ostarine led to the overturning of his victory, resulting in a one-year suspension. Now, Garcia is eager to prove his mettle once again and improve upon his 24-1 record.
Romero, boasts a 16-2 record, with 13 victories secured by knockout. In 2024, Romero fought twice, bouncing back from a TKO loss to Isaac Cruz in March with a unanimous decision over Manuel Jaimes in September.
Here is the predicted ring walk time for the May 2 Fatal Fury fight between Garcia and Romero:
