Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, and Teofimo Lopez will fight on the same card in Times Square, New York City on May 2. This event brings together three of boxing's biggest stars for a night of action.
Oscar De La Hoya, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, believes the recent loss to Ryan Garcia has deeply affected Devin Haney. De La Hoya shared his thoughts with BoxingScene:
"I feel Devin Haney is a shot fighter after what Ryan Garcia did to him. It happens that quick, yes. I've seen his demeanor. He looks lost."
This statement comes just a month before the major boxing event in New York. Garcia will make his return to the ring after a one-year suspension, while Haney looks to bounce back from his troubling loss. Haney admitted he entered a dark place following the defeat, and he and his father continue to criticize Garcia in the aftermath of the suspension.
For the upcoming event, Haney will face Jose Ramirez, who's promoted by Golden Boy Promotions. There's a chance Ramirez could pull off an upset, given Haney's potentially compromised mental state.
Teofimo Lopez rounds out the star-studded card. He'll defend his WBO title against Arnold Barboza Jr., another Golden Boy fighter.
The May 2 event will be crucial for all three boxers. Garcia aims for an emphatic return from suspension, Haney needs to prove himself and avoid further losses, and Lopez will put his title on the line.
De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions will have a strong presence at the event, with Garcia, Barboza, and Ramirez all fighting under their banner. The night promises to deliver high-stakes action and potentially career-defining moments for these boxing superstars.
