By Boxing News - 01/21/2025 - Comment Rolando 'Rolly' Romero has been given a May 2 fight against Ryan Garcia after Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz opted out of the fight due to his previously scheduled fight next month. This is Rolly's chance to unleash an upset on the rusty Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) on the Turki Al-Sheikh card in Times Square in New York City. Rolly enters Cruz has a fight scheduled against Angel Fierro on February 1st and did not want to discuss another fight until the end of his career. Fans were hoping to see Ryan and Pitbull fight, as it would have been more fun than watching Rolly get handed a match. It is not clear if there were other fighters present who could have entered. The 140-lb division has a lot of fighters with more talent than Rolly, and it would be nice for the fans to see someone else. Former WBA light welterweight champion Rolly (16-2, 13 KOs) was knocked out by Pitbull Cruz last year in the eighth round on March 30. That was an incredibly one-sided fight. On the May 2 card, Devin Haney will face Jose Ramirez, and Martin Bakole will fight Efe Ajagba. Also, per source involved - this card featuring Garcia-Rolly & Haney-Ramirez is scheduled for May 2 (Friday night). #boxing — Dan Rafael (@DanRafael1) January 21, 2025 Click here to sign up for our FREE newsletter Related News: Sections Isaac Cruz, Ryan Garcia Boxing News 24 » Rolando “Rolly” Romero Takes On Ryan Garcia In May After Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz WithdrawsLast updated on 01/21/2025 Source link
