Ryan Garcia vs. Isaac Cruz and Devin Haney vs. Jose Ramirez will fight in a doubleheader on DAZN PPV in May in Times Square in New York City. This will be one of Turki Al-Sheikh’s big cards and will set the table for a rematch in October between Ryan and Haney in Riyadh.
Doubleheader in May
Kingry (24-1, 20 KOs) has an easier fight against former WBA welterweight champion ‘Pitbull’ Cruz (26-3-1, 18 KOs). While it’s not an easy fight for Ryan, it’s less risky than the one facing Haney (31-0, 15 KOs), against the former WBC and WBO 140lb champion Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs).
Devin is fighting a really good fighter from the 2012 Olympian, Ramirez, 32, and there’s a good chance he’ll lose to this guy because he can punch and has great technical skills. However, Turkey probably won’t care if Haney gets it because he has a different philosophy about holding on to losing fighters. Fans will still want to see a Garcia-Haney rematch in October regardless of what happens to Haney against Ramirez.
“Sources revealed plans for a TIMES SQUARE 🗽🍎 and outdoor event in May, including Ryan Garcia-Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, Devin Haney-Jose Ramirez, as part of the launch of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves from SNK and Ringa Magazin # ESPNKnockOut,” Salvador Rodriguez said on X.
