Ryan Garcia is scheduled to lock horns with Rolando Romero at The Ring’s Fatal Fury, held in Times Square on May 2. This is set to be a historical event as it is the first boxing match in this eye-catching venue.
Although it is held in a public setting, the fights will not be visible to fans gathering around the corner. The boxing ring is covered with bright red fences that obstruct the view of the fights. Behind-the-scenes footage was recently shared by How Boxing Works on X, showing that it is an enclosed ring. They wrote:
“A look inside the walls.”
