The Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando Romero boxing card is scheduled to take place this Friday on May 2, 2025. The event is a collaboration involving Golden Boy Promotions, Matchroom Boxing, Top Rank, and TGB Promotions at Times Square, in New York City, New York, United States.
The main card is remarkably short, featuring just three fights, only one of which is a championship boxing match. All three bouts, though, are scheduled for 12 three-minute rounds. The main event consists, of course, of a welterweight scrap between Garcia and Romero.

Garcia enters the bout with a 24-1 (1) record, having recently faced pound-for-pound fighter Devin Haney. What was originally a majority decision win was overturned after Garcia failed an anti-doping test. He hasn't fought in over a year due to the ensuing suspension and other controversies he found himself in.
