Turki Alalshikh is making significant moves in boxing, announcing Ryan Garcia’s next fight in May with a potential October rematch against Devin Haney, following their controversial first bout.
Turki Alalshikh keeps shaking up the boxing world. Big moves, you know? Just announced on Twitter: Garcia’s signed for his next bout. No opponent yet, but it’s happening in May, in the U.S.
And there’s more! Ring Magazine—yep, owned by Alalshikh—says Devin Haney, Garcia’s last rival, will also fight on this card. If both win? October rematch to kick off Riyadh Season. Exciting times ahead!
Remember their first clash in April? Garcia shocked everyone by knocking Haney down multiple times and winning by decision. But wait! The victory got overturned to a No Contest after Garcia failed a drug test. Suspended for a year. Ouch.
Oh, and about that RIZIN New Year’s Eve fight against Rukiya Anpo? Postponed due to a wrist injury. Garcia promised it’ll happen in 2025, though his calendar seems pretty packed now. Busy man!
