Adrien Broner, at 34, has been on a journey to rebuild his career with his last two fights following the loss to Pacquiao in 2019. Understandably, his sporadic fight schedule, with bouts occurring every two years, has impacted the form that he was known for. However, with the support of promoter Don King, Broner has recently secured two victories over Bill Hutchinson and Jovanie Santiago, signaling a positive trajectory in his comeback.

After beating Oscar Duarte, Ryan Garcia initially called out Devin Haney for a bout. However, he surprised everyone by expressing interest in facing Romero instead. Then, a twist occurred when Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, called out Garcia for a fight. So, Ryan Garcia is still weighing up on his offers and figuring out who he should fight next.
In 2022, Ryan Garcia boldly called out Cruz in a video, igniting the prospect of a clash between the two. However, at that time, Cruz had prior commitments preventing the matchup. Now, with both fighters free from other obligations, the opportunity has presented itself for them to face off.
