Garcia, Haney, Lopez Set for Times Square Boxing Event May 2

A major boxing event organized by The Ring Magazine is set to take place in Times Square, New York, on May 2, featuring three high-profile matches. Teofimo Lopez will defend his WBO light-welterweight title against Arnold Barboza Jr., while Devin Haney faces Jose Carlos Ramirez and Ryan Garcia takes on Rolando Romero. This event is notable not only for the fights but also for its unique collaboration with SNK, coinciding with the release of the video game 'Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.' The anticipation surrounding this event is heightened by the previous controversial matchup between Garcia and Haney, which ended in a no-contest due to Garcia's failed drug test after he initially won. The matches are expected to attract significant attention and will be broadcast live on pay-per-view. The event showcases the growing allure of boxing in iconic settings, merging sports and entertainment.
