Romero, who's from Las Vegas and is almost 30, will face Garcia, a boxer from California who's coming back after a year away from the ring. Garcia got suspended for doping in April 2024, but now he's ready to fight again.
Romero's had an interesting year so far. He lost to Isaac Cruz in March 2024 but bounced back with a win against Manuel Jaimes in September. His biggest payday before this fight was $850,000 when he fought "Pitbull" Cruz for the WBA super lightweight title earlier this year.
The upcoming fight with Garcia could be huge for Romero's career. He might make about $5.5 million, which would be way more than he's ever made for a single fight. This could really help boost his net worth, which right now is thought to be between $4 million and $6 million.
Romero first got a lot of attention when he fought Gervonta "Tank" Davis in 2022. Even though he lost, that fight made him famous and he earned $500,000.
Outside the ring, Romero's got some good deals going. He's got sponsorships with big names like Nike, Everlast, Hublot, and Represent. These deals help him make money even when he's not fighting.
If Romero wins against Garcia, he could jump up to join the top boxers and start making even more money for his fights.
Garcia's supposed to make around $20 million for this fight, but we don't know for sure about the money details. Both fighters have a lot riding on this match, and fans can't wait to see what happens.
