Romero scored an early knockdown in the second round before cruising to a unanimous decision win over Garcia, who was fighting for the first time after his one-year suspension for testing positive for Ostarine following his win over Haney that was overturned to a no contest.

The Times Square card failed to live up to lofty expectations, with Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney's disappointing performances being at the center of it.

On May 2 in Times Square, New York City, The Ring’s Fatal Fury: Times Square card occurred. It was shown exclusively on DAZN PPV. The event was presented by SNK Corporation – in association with Golden Boy Promotions and Matchroom Boxing.
