The boxer told USA TODAY that a part of him would want to do a rematch in the moment if given the opportunity.
'But again, after going through multiple times of year layoffs, I understand that you need to have those in-between fights to be sharp,' he said. 'And it was something that I felt like I wanted to do. … Rolly is no slouch, but if we call ourselves the best, we should be able to beat anybody. … I hope Devin Haney wins, and I'm going to be handling my business. So if stars align, it's even bigger."

Penn State DE Max Granville sustains long-term injury
Penn State's depth at defensive end has taken another hit. According to a report by Tyler Donohue of Lions247, Nittany Lion Max Granville has sustained a "long-term injury," which likely means he'll miss a portion of the season, if not all of it. Penn State also saw departures from Abdul Carter, Amin Vanover, Smith Vilbert and Joseph Mupoyi this offseason, leading to lots of turnover within the position room heading into the 2025 season. Granville was considered a contender to start opposite Dani Dennis-Sutton, with Zuriah Fisher and Jaylen Harvey also in the mix. Regardless of whether he earned a starting role, the redshirt freshman was expected to be a key contributor this fall. Granville appeared in four regular season games and three postseason games for Penn State last season, allowing him to maintain his redshirt status while getting plenty of reps. He earned praise from coaches for his quick acclimation to the college level despite reclassifying to forego his senior year of high school and enroll a year early. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle Granville was active throughout spring practices and appeared in the team's annual Blue-White Game. It's unclear the exact timeline for Granville's injury, but the Nittany Lions will be without a rising star on the defense for a substantial period of time.

Ryan Garcia next fight: 3 opponents options for ‘King Ry's' return, including Devin Haney
The Ryan Garcia next fight news should arrive in the coming months. While his legion of fans wait, we look at three likely opponent options and recap his surprising loss to Rolly Romero. Who will Ryan Garcia's next fight be against? Following a one-year suspension from the New York State Athletic Commission, Garcia returned to action against Rolando Romero on May 2. In an underwhelming performance, the Victorville native took a unanimous decision loss. Advertisement While a rematch may not be warranted, Garcia expressed his interest in another shot against 'Rolly.' There is no shortage of names at 147 pounds to give him the opportunity at redemption that he is seeking, including Rolando Romero, Giovanni Santillan, or a Haney rematch. Rolly: Rolando Romero may want to seek bigger fights at 147 pounds after a decisive victory over Garcia. However, he recently stated that he would be open to 'whoop Garcia' for a second time. Gallo de Oro: Giovanni Santillan is among the top-10 contenders at welterweight. The sole loss of his career came against Brian Norman Jr. via a tenth-round knockout defeat for the vacant WBO interim title. 'Gallo de Oro' would be a suitable opponent if Garcia wants to keep his name in the picture at 147 pounds. The Dream: With a rematch against Haney rumored for the fall of this year, Garcia needed a strong showing against Romero. Even in defeat, all indicators seem to point to a second meeting anyway. The WBC junior welterweight 'champion in recess' has made it clear that he 'seeks revenge' against Garcia. Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando Romero recap Ryan Garcia entered the contest against Rolando Romero as the heavy favorite, at -1100. However, Garcia didn't deliver as the odds anticipated, appearing as anything except the favorite. What happened: The former WBA junior welterweight champion dictated the pace of the fight. He landed a solid left hook that put Garcia down in the first round. After a year away from the ring, it definitely showed as Garcia offered little to no offense in return. Advertisement The Result: 'Rolly' was the busier fighter, as he connected on 57 out of 280 punches thrown (20%). Although Garcia landed 66 out of 210 punches (31%), he didn't land anything significant to stop Romero in his tracks. After the scores of 115-112 (twice) and 118-110, Romero pulled off the big upset in a unanimous decision win. What's next? The Victorville native didn't get the redemption he needed upon his return. However, he may get a shot to set the record straight against Devin Haney, as a rematch is speculated for October. What makes Ryan Garcia so popular? Ryan Garcia Next Fight Despite controversy after a failed drug test in his last outing against Devin Haney, Garcia has always been one of the most exciting young fighters in boxing. At age 19, he had won 13 of his 14 professional fights by stoppage victory.
