Ryan Garcia faces fresh injury setback as Oscar De La Hoya gives bold advice
Oscar De La Hoya has suggested that Ryan Garcia 's recent wrist surgery did not mark the end of his injury issues, while advising his fighter to take another year off. Garcia returned from a one-year ban in May, having failed a drug test on the week of his win over Devin Haney in April 2024. That victory was overturned to a No Contest, and Garcia's comeback fell flat as he was dropped and outpointed by Rolly Romero. The American, 26, then underwent wrist surgery, but a shoulder issue might further delay 'King Ryan''s comeback, according to his promoter, boxing legend De La Hoya. In fact, De La Hoya has even advised another year of inactivity. 'He just got surgery,' De La Hoya told reporters. 'He's going to take a look at his shoulder now. I actually would like Ryan to think about taking the whole year off, getting his mind straight and comfortable to where he feels good. 'There is nothing lost for him. He has injuries and he has to get those fixed, but I think more importantly he has to get his life in order. 'I've lived it, and I am pretty sure everyone is telling him things left and right. He has to take a deep breath, a step back, analyse, and reassess life to put it all in order. It's just my opinion, I hope he takes the year off.' Garcia's loss to Romero came against the odds and marked a failed bid to end a torrid phase in his career. Prior to his fight with Haney, Garcia caused concern for his mental health due to his behaviour on social media. He also missed weight for that bout, meaning he was ineligible to win the WBC super-lightweight title, which Haney held at the time. In the contest itself, Garcia shockingly dropped Haney three times before winning a majority decision. With that, it seemed Haney – against whom Garcia went 3-3 in the amateur ranks – had suffered his first professional loss. But the revelation of Garcia's failed drug test led his win to be overturned. Garcia then served a 12-month ban before returning against Romero at welterweight, while Haney fought Jose Ramirez on the same night – in the same Times Square ring in New York City, also at welterweight. Haney outpointed Ramirez but came under fire for his performance, yet in winning, he had still upheld his end of a deal that was set to lead to a rematch with Garcia. Had Garcia beaten Romero, he would have been set for a second clash with Haney. Haney, 26, was this week linked with Teofimo Lopez, who outpointed Arnold Barboza Jr at the same Times Square event to retain the WBO super-lightweight belt, but talks reportedly collapsed.

Trump travel ban includes exemption for World Cup and Olympic athletes
Donald Trump's newly signed travel ban contains an exemption that could apply to players, staff or associated families with clubs participating in the 2025 Club World Cup, 2026 Fifa World Cup or the 2028 Olympics. The US president has signed a sweeping order banning travel from 12 countries and restricting travel from seven others, reviving and expanding the travel bans from his first term. The nationals of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen will be 'fully' restricted from entering the US, according to the proclamation. Meanwhile, the entry of nationals of Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela will be partially restricted. There is an exemption, however, outlined in section 4 of the order, which states that 'any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives, traveling for the World Cup, Olympics, or other major sporting event as determined by the secretary of state' are not subject to the ban. A Fifa spokesperson declined to comment when asked if the governing body had lobbied for the exception's placement. The Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, has gone out of his way to appear publicly with Trump in recent months, taking a seat next to the president at the first public meeting of his World Cup taskforce and arriving late to the Fifa Congress in order to meet with Trump during his tour of the Middle East. It is also not clear whether the 'World Cup' mentioned in the exemption applies to to both the 2026 World Cup involving international teams and the 2025 Club World Cup, which will feature many of the world's top club teams in venues across the US this year. Also unclear is whether the ban will force US-based players who play internationally for countries subject to the ban to return from the current Fifa international window early. Venezuela, for example, have three players on its squad who play in Major League Soccer. They are scheduled to play two World Cup qualifiers: one against Bolivia on Friday night and another against Uruguay on Tuesday. Trump's travel ban is set to come into action on Monday 9 June. Teams that have qualified for the Club World Cup currently employ 10 players from countries named in the travel ban. They are: Inter Miami's Telasco Segovia (Venezuela), Botafogo's Jefferson Savarino (Venezuela), Esperance de Tunis's Roger Aholou (Togo), LAFC's David Martínez (Venezuela), Inter's Mehdi Taremi (Iran), Ulsan's Matías Lacava (Venezuela), Al-Ain's Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba (Togo), Josna Loulendo (Republic of Congo) and Mohamed Awadalla (Sudan), as well as Pachuca's Salomón Rondón (Venezuela). Only one country on the travel ban list, Iran, has already qualified for the 2026 World Cup. Venezuela are seventh in South American qualifying, five points behind Colombia for an automatic World Cup place but still in the picture to qualify via an inter-confederation playoff. Equatorial Guinea and Libya are mathematically still alive in African qualifying but unlikely to progress to the next round. Sudan are third in their World Cup qualifying group, just one point from automatic qualification. Haiti look good to reach the next round of Concacaf World Cup qualification.
