Ryan Garcia, of Victorville, California, now living in Los Angeles, is a former WBC interim lightweight champion and one of the best young talents in boxing. Garcia is also one of the most popular boxers on social media, with more than 12 million followers on Instagram, and 8.6 million followers on TikTok.

While Haney beat Ramírez by unanimous decision, Garcia fell to Romero, which calls into question whether a rematch is still in the cards. Per ESPN's Andreas Hale, it remains possible that Garcia vs. Haney II could happen due to reports that a contract was signed for the fight prior to Friday's results.
