In a groundbreaking first, Saudi Arabia's influence on the boxing world is going to make an unforgettable impression on New York City. Times Square is set to showcase a blockbuster boxing card on May 2, headlined by Ryan Garcia against Rolando Romero. The fight will be Garcia's first since his one-year suspension due to failing a drug test for his controversial bout with Devin Haney. The co-main event features former undisputed lightweight champion Haney facing Jose Ramirez in a welterweight bout. Also, Teofimo Lopez defends his WBO junior welterweight title against Arnold Barboza Jr. The event underscores Turki al-Sheikh's strategy of elevating Saudi Arabia's global sports image by attracting high-level events outside its borders.
