At a showdown taking place on May 2 in Times Square in New York, American star Teofimo Lopez and bitter rival Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia will square off in separate fights.

Lopez, 27, will face Arnold Barboza Jr. in the WBO light-welterweight title defense.

Lopez will start the fights while Garcia will headline the Times Square event.

Lopez, a two-weight world champion, has won five of his five fights since George Kambosos Jr.’s defeat in the middleweight division.

In order to stage their rematch in Saudi Arabia in October, Haney and Garcia square off against one another.

Garcia and Rolando Romero will square off against Haney at welterweight, and Garcia will take on Jose Ramirez.

Garcia, 26, has not fought since his dramatic victory over Haney in April 2024, where he was just served with a one-year doping ban.

After a failed drug test, the American lost weight in the fight, pulling off an upset, which turned the victory into a no-contest.
