The fight has grown in hype mainly due to Garcia's anticipated return to boxing following a one-year suspension for failed drug tests around his April 2024 fight with Devin Haney.
The match specifically brought out the 26-year-old American's best stuff as he took the victory by majority decision - but was eventually overturned to a no contest after the revelation of the failed tests.
As for Romero, he possesses the brutal power and honest game that has troubled Gervonta 'Tank' Davis and Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz.
Though, the 5ft 8in orthodox has the defensive holes that has seen him come up short in those contests.

What has been said?
Following a tumultuous year for Garcia, he has endured a reevaluation on his life in and out of the ring.
In an interview with SunSport on his drugs test, he told us: "What we did find out is that it was at the lowest amount you could possibly find trace amount.
"So again, it's proven that there was such low dosage in my system that has no effect on my body, so that's just the truth. It is what it is."
He added: "I learned my lesson with the Tank fight on not taking a tune-up. You gotta be active.
"I don't think taking a year off and going straight into the Haney fight makes sense for either one of us. A year off is a long time.
"You need to get your timing back, everything back, real fights are much different than sparring, so it's good that we both took a fight, I think."

Coco Gauff shows true colours with sharp response to Sabalenka's comments after French Open final
Sabalenka was left visibly upset after losing in the French Open final to Gauff Coco Gauff showed no signs of toying with Aryna Sabalenka following their clash in the French Open final, where the American secured her second Grand Slam title after a remarkable comeback victory against the world's No. 1 seed. Gauff overturned an initial deficit to triumph 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4 as Sabalenka found it challenging to handle the gusty conditions and her own emotions on the red clay of Roland Garros. The top-seeded player didn't hide her disappointment, candidly stating she had played "terrible tennis" before reinforcing her sentiment during the press conference. She contended that if Iga Swiatek, whom she defeated during a semi-final showdown on Thursday, ending her four-year undefeated streak in Paris with a 7-6, 4-6, 6-0 scoreline, had reached the finals, she would have clinched the title. Sabalenka, evidently embittered after succumbing to Gauff and committing 70 unforced errors despite winning an exhaustive 80-minute first set, remarked: "If Iga would [beat] me another day, I think she would go out today and she would get the win." Struggling to contain her disappointment, she further expressed: "Yeah, it just hurts. Honestly hurts. I've been playing really well, and then in the last match, go out there and perform like I did, that hurts." Despite the tears and self-censure from Sabalenka, Gauff remained poised. Gracefully accepting her new status as tournament champion at her post-match press conference, Gauff was apprised of Sabalenka's remarks. But the newly crowned champion stood her ground, brushing off Sabalenka's comments, by stating: "I mean, I don't agree with that." She followed up sharply with the words: "I'm here sitting here." The 21 year old Gauff also brought up her recent convincing victory over Swiatek at the Madrid Open: "Last time I played - no shade to Iga or anything, but I played her and I won in straight sets. Yeah, I don't think that's a fair thing to say, because anything can really happen. "Yeah, honestly the way Aryna was playing the last few weeks, she was the favourite to win. So I think she was the best person that I could have played in the final. "Her being No.1 in the world was the best person to play, so I think I got the hardest matchup just if you go off stats alone." Despite this, if given the choice, Gauff would have favoured a match against Swiatek, although now as a double major title-winner, such hypotheticals were rendered inconsequential. Gauff expressed her confidence before the match, feeling that she had a strong chance of winning irrespective of the rival she faced. "Obviously Iga being a champion here, it was going to be a tough match either way," the champion remarked. "But, yeah, I think regardless of who I played, I think I had a good shot to win, and I definitely had that belief," she elaborated. "If you asked me, honestly speaking to you guys who I wanted to play, it was Iga just because I felt Aryna was playing so good, and she was. "But also, Iga is a tough opponent too. So honestly, neither of them would have been the better shot. But, you know, it played out how it played out. Yeah, that's why I'm here today."

I'm proud to represent the Americans that look like me
Gauff beat world number one Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling three-set final to secure her maiden Roland Garros title. The 21-year-old, now a two-time grand slam champion, says she wants to bring 'hope and light' to black Americans who feel under-represented. wow. this means so much to me truly….french open champion🥹i worked so hard for this moment and for it to have happened is insane. thank you God ❤️ and thank you everyone. this means the world…. I 'm still in shock honestly can't find the words but all I can say for now is… — Coco Gauff (@CocoGauff) June 7, 2025 'It means a lot and obviously there's a lot going on in our country right now,' she said. 'But just to be able to be a representation of that and a representation of, I guess, people that look like me in America who maybe don't feel as supported during this time period, and so just being that reflection of hope and light for those people.' Gauff won the WTA Finals in Riyadh in November, days after the re-election of US President Donald Trump. 'I remember after the election and everything, it kind of felt (a) down period a little bit,' she added. 'My mum told me during Riyadh, 'Just try to win the tournament just to give something for people to smile for'. 'So that's what I was thinking about today when holding that (trophy). 'And then seeing the flags in the crowd means a lot. You know, some people may feel some type of way about being patriotic and things like that. 'But I'm definitely patriotic and proud to be American and I'm proud to represent the Americans that look like me and people who kind of support the things that I support.' Gauff is scheduled to play at the Berlin Open, beginning a week on Monday, to kick off her preparations for Wimbledon. But she said: 'I haven't thought that far ahead. Obviously I'm going to take some days off, for sure. 'I'm signed up for Berlin right now. We'll see if I play or not. This part of the season is new just because of the fact that it's so short and I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but I'll have that conversation with my team and take their opinions and see what they think is best. 'For sure I'm going to rest and enjoy it and not go into training too quickly just because I feel like this stuff doesn't happen too often, so you've just got to enjoy it.'
