Garcia is poised to make his comeback to the ring after the contentious showdown with Devin Haney in April 2024. 'KingRy' initially claimed a significant decision victory, only for the outcome to be reversed to a no-contest when the former interim WBC lightweight champion tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance ostarine.
Meanwhile, Romero last stepped into the ring in September, where he secured a unanimous decision win over Manuel Jaimes. However, 'Rolly' finds himself at a crossroads in his career, having fallen short in two of his last four bouts, first to Gervonta Davis and then to Isaac Cruz, with both losses coming via TKO.

Meanwhile, 'Rolly' is expected to secure the biggest payday of his career to date by stepping into the ring with Garcia. According to Boxing News 24, the former WBA super lightweight champion previously earned his highest purse, estimated to be between $850,000 and $950,000, for his March 2024 bout against Isaac Cruz.
According to a report from The Sportster, 'KingRy' had previously offered Romero a lucrative $5 million deal to face him in 2024, though the fight failed to come together at the time. Given that context, it's estimated that 'Rolly' will now earn somewhere in the range of $5 to $5.5 million for their upcoming showdown.
