On May 2, a massive boxing event will take place at Times Square, featuring: Teofimo Lopez vs. Arnold Barbosa, Devin Haney vs. Jose Carlos Ramirez, Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando Romero. During the first press conference, a heated exchange between WBC champion-in-recess Devin Haney and WBO junior welterweight champion.
Haney (H): Are you on drugs today, bro? You’re on drugs. You’re not joking—you’re just high.
Lopez (L): Look here. This is Drug A (shows left bicep), and this is Drug B (shows right bicep). I’m the only world champion sitting at this table.
H: We’re not on drugs like you.
L: I’m just trying to hype up these fights better.
H: We don’t need your help. We’re sitting at the same table—we don’t need your help.
L: This is the shiest press conference I’ve ever been to.
As previously reported, if Garcia and Haney win, they will rematch. Lopez is scheduled to face Jaron Ennis if he wins.
