Ryan Garcia and Rolly Romero are just days away from colliding with the winner set to be in a huge position to push forward and compete in another blockbuster clash later this year, potentially against Devin Haney.
Garcia and Romero are former sparring partners who have shared many rounds together, and another item they have in common is that they have both faced Gervonta Davis.
Here, DAZN News looks back at both men’s fights against the Baltimore banger.
Originally set to meet in 2021, the bout was put on hold whilst Romero dealt with allegations against him that were eventually dismissed.
When the pair collided in May 2022, it was Romero who began the fight well and for five rounds he competed brilliantly with ‘Tank.’
Romero had been confident throughout the build-up and his vocal presence was on display throughout as he genuinely believed he was going to emerge victorious.
One year after taking out Romero, Davis would face the toughest test of his career when he would go in with the heavy-handed Garcia.
Maybe inspired by Romero’s fast start, Garcia plotted a similar approach, but his plans were thwarted early in the contest when he was dropped in the second round.
Garcia tried his best to beat the count, but the quality of Davis’ attack meant the contest was over.
