Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero: when and where?

Negotiations between Ryan Garcia and Rolly Romero are undergoing a turbulent phase. Despite initial talks and a shift away from a potential Devin Haney matchup, Garcia and Romero found themselves at an impasse. This led Garcia to consider a fight with Isaac Cruz instead. Recent reports, however, suggest a potential turnaround, as both fighters are now reportedly in the final stages of securing a fight.

The tentative date for the fight has been announced by a long-time journalist Dan Rafael, and he revealed that the bout is scheduled for April 20 in Las Vegas. This anticipated bout is poised to take center stage as the headline event of a DAZN pay-per-view offering. Moreover, as it turns out, the WBA super lightweight world title will be at stake for this bout. However, he claimed that the fight is still in its negotiation phase.

Ryan Garcia’s next fight could be anybody’s guess, especially after he pulled himself out of the Devin Haney fight. And then he proceeded to call out a bunch of fighters, and vice-versa, including Isaac Cruz and Adrien Broner. But why did he pull back from the Devin Haney bout.

Garcia didn’t deem it profitable to fight Devin Haney

Ryan Garcia’s decision not to face WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney in his upcoming match has ignited a feud between the two renowned boxers. Following Garcia’s announcement, Haney responded with a taunting remark on social media, initiating a war of words. In response to ‘KingRy’s’ jabs, ‘The Dream’ didn’t remain silent.

In one of the videos, Garcia stated, “Devin lost his shot. He thought it was Haney vs Garcia, he should’ve known it was Garcia vs Haney. He did 35,000 PPV buys.” Well, this wasn’t taken lightly by the former undisputed lightweight champion, and he was ready with a response on the X. Haney wrote, “If Ryan such a this big draw why he only fought on PPV once.. never before never after! Why he couldn’t sell out the last arena he fought in?”
