Ryan Garcia comeback fight upgraded to ‘world title’ clash before Devin Haney rematch
Ryan Garcia’s comeback fight against Rolly Romero will reportedly be for a version of the WBA world title. Eimantas Stanionis holds the full WBA belt at 147lbs but Ring Magazine has learned that Garcia vs Romero will duke it out for a WBA ‘world welterweight title’ as well. Garcia is competing for a WBA ‘world title’ in his first fight back since facing HaneyGetty The report doesn’t go into specifics on which strap Garcia and Romero will fight for, although it is likely the lesser regarded WBA ‘regular’ title. There has been no confirmation from the WBA that Stanionis will be stripped while the undefeated Lithuanian is set to put his black and gold title on the line against IBF champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis on April 12 in a welterweight unification bout. Stanionis picked up the WBA ‘regular’ title in April 2022 when Terence Crawford held the primary version of the belt. Once Crawford vacated his titles to move up to super welterweight, Stanionis was upgraded to full world champion. Garcia and Romero could fulfil the same destiny if the winner of Ennis and Stanionis opts to relinquish their title as well. ‘King Ry’ takes on Romero in May in New York City’s Times Square on a bill shared by fierce rival Devin Haney, who squares off with Jose Ramirez in a separate bout. Providing Garcia and Haney come through their respective fights unscathed, the plan is for both men to rematch in October over in Saudi Arabia. Last April, Garcia dropped Haney three times en route to a majority decision win, which was later overturned to a no contest when it was found he had tested positive for the banned substance ostarine. As a result, Garcia received a one-year ban from the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC). His suspension ends on April 20, 2025, but to be re-licensed he must submit a clean drugs test. Romero will take on Garcia in his comeback fight in MayEsther Lin/SHOWTIME Stanionis hold the full version of the WBA welterweight title Garcia weighed in 3.5lbs over the the super lightweight limit for their inaugural encounter and so has moved up to welterweight. Haney will follow him up to 147lbs after struggling at the weight for several years. Both parties have entered into multi-fight agreements with Riyadh Season while Garcia has enrolled in the VADA drug testing pool. VADA drug testing was one of Haney’s requirements to get their sequel over the line. Garcia had previously questioned the credibility of the organisation but has since committed to their random drug testing programme. Additionally, Garcia will also submit random tests conducted by agents contracted through the California State Athletic Commission.
