It has been confirmed that the Ryan Garcia next fight will headline the inaugural Ring Magazine USA card in May, with the American boxing superstar facing Rolly Romero in May.
Ryan Garcia Next Fight: ‘King Ry’ Faces Rolly Romero On Ring Return In May
Ryan Garcia is without a doubt one of the biggest stars in the sport of boxing right now. The American super-lightweight fighter is widely regarded as one of the best fighters on the planet, not to mention being one of the most controversial too.
After his last fight got overturned to a no contest due to a failed drugs test, boxing fans want to know when exactly they can expect to see ‘King Ry’ back in the professional ring. Well, the 26-year-old was supposed to return to action on December 30th, but the fight was cancelled due to Garcia undergoing wrist surgery.
The Ryan Garcia next fight was supposed to be against RIZIN star Rukiya Anpo in a boxing exhibition. However, that fight has now been postponed whilst ‘King Ry’ recovers from injury. Whilst Garcia recovers, it has been announced that he will return to the professional boxing ring in May.
His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has confirmed that Ryan Garcia’s next fight will be against former world champion Rolly Romero. ‘King Ry’ will return to action in May in New York, looking to get back to winning ways after his no contest with Devin Haney last time out.
Ryan Garcia’s record currently sits at 24-1 (1 NC), consisting of 20 knockout victories and four decision wins. The only defeat on Garcia’s resumé came to Gervonta Davis, with ‘King Ry’ hopeful of one day avenging that defeat.
It comes as no surprise to learn that the Ryan Garcia next fight sees him as a comprehensive favourite with the best UK betting sites. Not only that, but the American is fully expected to stop Rolly Romero in emphatic fashion.

Could Ryan Garcia Rematch Devin Haney In 2025 or Face Teofimo Lopez?
Although it has been confirmed that the Ryan Garcia next fight will be against Rolly Romero in May, boxing fans are hoping to see ‘King Ry’ in the ring with some of the biggest names at 140-pounds before the end of the year.
The appetite will be there for a Devin Haney rematch, given how the first fight played out and the aftermath of the contest. ‘King Ry’ looked lost and out of control in the build up to the Haney fight, before missing weight the day prior to the fight.
Fans thought he was in for a hiding against the best super-lightweight in the world, but instead he put on a boxing clinic, dropping Haney three time on course to a majority decision victory over his American rival.
However, this win was later turned to a ‘no contest’ due to Garcia failing a performance enhancing drugs test. Garcia has protested his innocence, but was suspended from the ring for a year due to the Ostarine found in his system.
A rematch with Haney could be on the cards for late 2025, as could a super-fight with WBO champion Teofimo Lopez. A move up to welterweight to face someone like Jaron Ennis or Conor Benn could also be a genuine possibility.
Given his performance against Devin Haney last time out, the best boxing betting sites in the UK will likely have Ryan Garcia as a favourite against any opponent. Time will tell what is next for ‘King Ry’, but boxing fans are certainly excited at seeing the 26-year-old back in the boxing ring in 2025 and beyond.
