Published

Although the details of how Times Square will be transformed into the outdoor box, remain unclear, there is no doubt about the quality of the event. Three fight with May 2 was officially announced at a press conference in Palladium in Novel York on Tuesday. Some of the biggest names in boxing will be on one completed card, fighting to establish even larger fights this year.

From Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando “Rolly” Romero, after Devin Haney vs. Jose Ramirez and Teofiimo Lopez vs. Arnold Barboza Jr., we spread fights and evaluate them in order.


3. Ryan Garcia (-900) vs. Rolando “Rolly” Romero (+550), Junior Half -Velve

Garcia (24-1, 1 NC, 20 KO) means that his ring returns after a one-year ban and will expect from his last show, despite the controversy around him.

Garcia has not fought since he dropped Haney three times in winning the decision, which was later recognized as a competition, lack of a positive result for the ban on the substance.

With Haney also on this unique card the winner of this duel (especially if it is an attractive Garcia star), he will face the winner of Haney vs. Ramirez. Patzista rematch between Haney and Garcia in Saudi Arabia in October would cause great interest.

The Las Vegas Romero resident (16-2, 13 KO) has an impressive 81%knockout indicator, but does Garcia have the power of trouble when he raises the third weight class? 29 -year -old Romero lost two of the last four fights with Izacka Cruz and Gervont Davis over space. 26 -year -old Garcia from Los Angeles, who also succumbed to Davis two years ago, throws power and speed. This fight could steal the program.


2. Devin Haney (-1200) vs. Jose Ramirez (+650), Humanities

Haney, like Lopez, needs headlights over a year from the ring. Haney has not fought since he had a sedate failure in April last year, when Garcia was dropped three times by the majority defeat of the decision. The fact that Garcia did not bring the burden and then failed to test drugs for the forbidden substance, that the fight was a competition without, does not completely allow Haney. He couldn’t avoid Garcia’s left hook and the loss was harmful. Haney must take the land or see how his economic potential decreases.

This fight gives 26-year-old Haney from Las Vegas, a chance to recover the shoot, and his skillful skills should be too high for 32-year-old Ramirez. Both will debut in welterweight, and if Haney (31-0, 1 NC, 15 KO) can discover the form in which he was in 2023, when he defeated Lomachenko and Regis Prograis, he will once again eat at a immense table.

After defeats with Barboza and Josh Taylor, Ramirez (29-2, 18 KO), a former champion of the United Junior Huft Health with Avenal in California, he will fight to save his career, and this makes him perilous.


1. Teofimo Lopez Jr. (-275) vs. Arnold Barboz Jr. (+210) for Lopeza WBO Junior wad

It is an ideal start for Lopez to determine as the biggest boxing star over the following year. Sport is ready for a fresh charismatic warrior who could take part in the mainstream of fans’s cancellation to replace such as Canelo Alvarez (34 years elderly), Terenka Crawford (37), Oleksandr Uyk (38) and already retired Tyson Fury (36).

Garcia vs. Romero is officially the main event, but Lopez is the highest rated warrior on the-NR ESPN card at Munior Direter weight. Garcia, with observed by huge social media, is more known, but 27 -year -old Lopez from Brooklyn in Novel York has a path to the development of his profile with the perspective of the unification of the title with Richardson Hitchins for later 2025 – if he defeated Barboza.

But Lopez (21-1, 13 KO) must do better than his last trip in June, when he convincingly overtook Steve Claggett, but he did not shine, and his victory over Jamaine Ortiz just over a year ago met with Boos because of lack of action.

However, Lopez, a world champion with two divisions, showed that he could get to the occasion when he defeated the pound at the time, Vasiliya Lomachenko in 2020, and the level of Barbozy’s threat can bring the best Lopez at perhaps the largest stage of his career.

Barboza (32-0, 11 KO), with Los Angeles, deserves this shots for winning on Jacek Cattell in the yard of the Englishman in Manchester last month. 33-year-old Barboza won a divided decision, and the behind schedule flourishing will take part in his first competition for the title of world champion in the best form of his career after defeating former champion Jose Ramirez in November. Can he do even more nervousness?

Image: Filip Hrgovic Says Dave Allen Has “Loser Mentality”

Hrgovic strongly disagreed and mocked Allen’s approach to the fight while discussing his opponent.

“Yes, that’s his loser mentality. That’s what he achieved throughout his career. That’s why he suffered 10 defeats and I suffered one defeat,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.

“It’s just an underdog mentality. I just take the pressure off myself like, ‘I’m a Doncaster boy.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. I don’t have to win. It puts pressure on him.”

“You know, it’s a loser’s mentality. So OK, I’ll take the pressure. I have to win. I’m a winner.

“He always had this mentality. ‘I’m fat. I don’t train. I don’t need to win. I’m tiny’. Come on, man. Don’t make excuses your whole life. Just train, be professional and go for the win.

“I expect him to be the best version of himself because this is a huge opportunity for him and it’s his hometown. I expect him to be in good shape.

“I think I’m definitely a tougher fight for him than Zhang. Zhang is aged, aged.

“I can also be fat if I don’t train and if I drink beer. I can be fat and be a journeyman and come to every fight and just say, ‘I don’t have to win.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. “

“I think I’m better. I’m faster. I’m better in all aspects of the fight. But you know, it’s heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen and he’s a brave guy. He always comes forward and steps up to the fight. So I think it’ll be a good fight.”

Hrgovic comes into the fight after a tough recent run that has included physical fights with Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. He defeated Joyce and Adeleye after losing to Dubois, with both victories coming after tough rounds and bulky rallies.

The fight will be the main event of Saturday’s heavyweight gala in Doncaster.

Oleksandr Usyk will immediately be stripped of world title if he loses to Verhoeven

The situation surrounding all of Oleksandr Usyk’s world champion titles has already been determined before his fight with kickboxer Rico Verhoeven.

The WBC controversially put its belt on the line before this fight, meaning that Verhoeven, despite having little or no chance of winning, could win the belt in May 23 in Egypt.

The WBA announced today that the fight will count as a successful world title defense if Usyk wins, but the challenger will not be able to claim the belt, even if it causes seismic shocks. If this happens, a committee will meet on next steps.

The IBF has taken a similar stance, but while Verhoeven cannot win that title either, the sanctioning body will immediately declare the heavyweight belt vacant if Usyk loses.

The conditions under which Usyk can fight to remain champion are as follows:

1. If Usyk loses on May 23, 2026, the IBF heavyweight title will be immediately declared vacant.

2. If Usyk wins on May 23, 2026, the IBF will recognize the WBC’s position in the rotation and will order an IBF mandatory fight for one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.

3. If the WBA grants special permission, the IBF will recognize the WBA’s position in the rotation and order an IBF mandatory fight for one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.

4. The IBF reserves the right to change the mandatory deadline in the event of significant delays in the rotation.

After the fight with Verhoeven, Usyk will be ordered to face WBC mandatory Agit Kabayel, and promoter Frank Warren is sure that he will be stripped of the belt if he does not fulfill his obligation.
