For boxing news – 21/01/2025 – comments Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero was given the May 2 fight against Ryan Garcia after Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz opted out due to his previously scheduled fight next month. This is Rolly’s chance to pull off an upset of Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) on the Turki Al-Sheikh card in Times Square in New York City. Rolly enters Cruz is scheduled to fight Angel Fierro on February 1st and has refused to negotiate another fight until after his match. Fans were looking forward to seeing Ryan and Pitbull fight, as it would have been much more interesting than watching Rolly take on the match. It is not clear if there were other fighters available who could have intervened. The 140-pound division has many more talented fighters than Rolly, and it would have been great for the fans to see someone else. Former WBA Light Welterweight Champion Rolly (16-2, 13 KOs) was knocked out in the eighth round by Pitbull Cruz last year in the eighth round on March 30. It was a surprisingly one-sided fight. On the May 2 card, Devin Haney will face Jose Ramirez, and heavyweight Martin Bakole will fight Efe Ajagba. Also, per a source involved, this card featuring Garcia-Rolly and Haney-Ramirez is slated for May 2 (a Friday night). #boxing https://t.co/dPZGmJgiv0 — Dan Rafael (@DanRafael1) January 21, 2025 Click here to subscribe to our FREE newsletter Related News: Boxing News 24 » Rolando “Rolly” Romero faces Ryan Garcia in May after Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz withdrew Last updated on 01/21/2025 Source link
