Rolando “Rolly” Romero faces Ryan Garcia in May after Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz withdraws By Boxing News – 01/21/2025 – Comments Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero has been handed the May 2 fight against Ryan Garcia after Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz opted not to take it due to his scheduled fight next month. This is Rolly’s opportunity to surprise Garcia (24-1, 20 KO) on the Turki Al-Sheikh card in Times Square in New York. Rolly intervenes Cruz has a fight scheduled against Angel Fierro on February 1 and only wanted to negotiate another fight after his match. Fans were hoping to see Ryan and Pitbull fight, as it would have been much more interesting than seeing Rolly being handed the match. It is unknown if there were other fighters available who could have intervened. The 140-pound division has many fighters with more talent than Rolly, and it would have been great for fans to see someone else. Former WBA light welterweight champion Rolly (16-2, 13 KO) was knocked out in the eighth round by Pitbull Cruz last year in the eighth round on March 30. It was a surprisingly one-sided fight. On the May 2 card, Devin Haney will face Jose Ramirez and heavyweight Martin Bakole will fight Efe Ajagba. Additionally, according to the source involved, this card featuring Garcia-Rolly and Haney-Ramirez is scheduled for May 2 (a Friday night). #boxing https://t.co/dPZGmJgiv0 – Dan Rafael (@DanRafael1) January 21, 2025 Click here to subscribe to our FREE newsletter Related news: Boxing News 24 » Rolando “Rolly” Romero faces Ryan Garcia in May after Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz withdraws Last updated on 01/21/2025
