Boxing star Ryan Garcia admitted on Tuesday that there was no professional drinking alcohol and smoke marijuana before fighting Devin Haney.

Garcia has published films in social media in the days preceding this title of the welterweight champion – who won according to the majority decision – in which he drinks at the club. Then he pretended to drink beer during weighing.

Despite the unpredictable behavior of Garcia, he raised Haney (31-0, 15 KO) three times in stern nervousness. However, Garcia later tested a positive result in terms of the drug strengthening drug, and the result was repealed to the lack. The 26-year-old was also suspended for a year by Modern York State Athletic Commission.

Garcia (24-1, 20 KO) will end this ban on fighting on May 2 vs. Romero outside on the Times Square, the main placed in the Ring Magazine Tripleheader, which includes Haney’s return vs. Jose Ramirez and Teofimo Lopeza 140-point defense against Arnold Barbo Jr.

“I want to be great,” said Garcia. “I’ve always wanted to fight the best fighters in sport. As for my problems outside the ring, I always had these problems. I don’t know who else is struggling with such things, but I just fought with it.

“… I want to show my commitment to sport and be just a real professional. I admit my harm and I do not want anyone to take their activities related to drinking and smoking before the fight and try to think that this is a way to deal with a professional. So I came here to change it, and this is my first struggle to regain respect, and then prove to everyone that it wasn’t that it wasn’t tiny. “

Garcia’s fight with Romero will be his first 147 pounds. When he faced Haney with a 140-pound title, he had 3.2 pounds overweight. Haney will also augment to 147 pounds, just like Will Ramirez (both are former masters of 140 pounds).

If Garcia and Haney have a victory and without an injury, you plan to meet in a warmly expected rematch in October in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Haney, like Garcia, has not competed since their meeting.

“At the end of the day I fought with someone on Ped,” said 26 -year -old Haney. “The world wants to see what Devin Haney will appear, and I’m looking for all these answers on May 2”

“It was definitely time,” Haney added a welterweight jump. “My body just matured. One fourteen was challenging for me to do. I felt good during one fight, but in the other a fight I didn’t feel so good. “

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?

Teofimo Lopez says that he wants to fight the winner on April 12, the fight between Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis or Terenka Crawford, if he wins on May 2 against Arnold Barboz Jr. Lopez says that he will fight Crawford for “free.” It sounds like desperation.

Master WBO Lightweight Wyttereight Lopez (21-1, 13 KO) is already preparing for the fight with the IBF “Boots” welterweight master Ennis, but he still did not give up his dreams of a mega-crawford. This duel would bring much more money for Teo than the hard “shoes” for his IBF or WBA belts.

Barbozie threat

Teofimo cannot afford to look beyond his title defense against WBO, the obligatory barboza Jr. (32-0, 11 KO) at the “Fatal Fury” event in Novel York from May 2. If Teo loses this fight, it is doubtful if Turks Alalshikh will still want to employ it as an opponent so that Ennis’s “shoes” can defend themselves in October.

It would look bad if Lopez returned to this fight against the embarrassing loss with Barboza. It would be better for Turks to employ warm red barboza Jr. as an opponent of shoes. It would be captivating to know if Turki has an escape clause on his three fights with Lopez, which allows him to throw drifting if he is erased by Barboza Jr.

In other words, a failure in case Teofimo goes to pieces in this fight. If he was more popular, he could absorb the loss for Arnold without the fact that it was a substantial deal, but his reserves have fallen from 2020. Therefore, the fight of Teo with Barboza Jr. She is buried at the bottom of May 2.

“Free” goal of the fight

“I said publicly that I would fight him for free. If I can’t get a guy, I just want to be with him in the ring – said Teofimo Lopez Ring magazine about the desire to fight in Terenka Crawford after his defense on May 2 against Arnold Barboz Jr.

“I would like Jaron” Boots “Ennis in the near future. [I want to] Fight the winner of shoes and stanionis. It would be great. I just strive for perfection. “
