Victorville native Ryan Garcia returns to the ring Friday, May 2, facing Rolando “Rolly” Romero in New York City as boxing fans look toward a rematch between Garcia and Devin Haney.
Garcia’s one-year suspension for testing positive for a banned substance ended last month; his victory over Haney previous year was overturned to a no-contest.

The boxer told USA TODAY that a part of him would want to do a rematch in the moment if given the opportunity.
“But again, after going through multiple times of year layoffs, I understand that you need to have those in-between fights to be sharp,” he said. “And it was something that I felt like I wanted to do. … Rolly is no slouch, but if we call ourselves the best, we should be able to beat anybody. … I hope Devin Haney wins, and I’m going to be handling my business. So if stars align, it’s even bigger.”
