De La Hoya goes undercover in Times Square to escape scrutiny after hyping Ryan Garcias crushing defeat
The stage was set for a blockbuster night of boxing in Times Square, but the main event didn't deliver the comeback story Ryan Garcia had hoped for. Returning from a one-year doping suspension following his controversial fight against Devin Haney in 2024 - in which he tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine - Garcia faced Rolando "Rolly" Romero in a welterweight bout.
