WBA world super lightweight champion American Rolando Romero responded to the challenge thrown at him by a popular compatriot Ryan Garcia.
“I don’t think Ryan deserves to fight me. On the other hand, our fight has been brewing for a long time. I encouraged him to fight six years ago. This is the fight that I, the fans and the journalists have been waiting for.
I’m the best pay-per-view seller, and on the other side is Princess Ryan Garcia. He wants to return in March or April. Sounds good. Hope so. “I’m still working through some issues — still recovering,” Romero was quoted as saying by Boxing Social.
Recall that on December 2, Garcia knocked out Oscar Duarte in the eighth round.
On Saturday at a boxing evening organized by Matchroom Boxing in San Francisco, Devin Haney (30-0, 15 KO) will fight with the WBC world super lightweight champion Regis Prograis (29-1, 24 KOs). For Haney, who last year became the absolute champion in the weight category up to 61 kilograms, this will be his debut in the super lightweight division. On the eve of this fight, Matchroom presented a 25-minute documentary in which they talked about the preparation of the two boxers, as well as the altercation between their coaches Bill Haney and Evins Tobler on the set of the “Duel of Stares” program.
