Ryan Garcia is returning from a one-year suspension with plenty at stake.

He’ll fight Rolando “Rolly’’ Romero Friday with a chance to help secure a rematch with Devin Haney in the fall. A common opponent may help understand Garcia’s chances against Romero in a 147-pound welterweight bout.

Gervonta “Tank’’ Davis has stopped both men in the ring, and he says Romero hits harder.

“Well, shoot, (Romero) could hit harder,’’ Garcia told USA TODAY Sports. “But he got to hit me, and at end of day I hit hard, too.’’

Garcia knocked down Haney three times April 20, 2024 and won the fight by majority decision. But that result became a no-contest after Garcia failed a post-fight drug test that resulted in a one-year suspension.

Will Garcia return to the ring with the same power? Will Romero be able to tap into his own power and avoid Garcia’s lethal left hook?

USA TODAY will provide the latest updates, highlights and live coverage of all the action from the fight card. Follow along.
