Ryan Garcia made his return to the ring on Friday night in a unique setting, as the 26-year-old headlined the main event from Times Square. A unique setting requires a unique entrance, which is exactly what Garcia provided in New York City.
Garcia's last fight came in April of last year when he defeated Devin Haney. However, Garcia later tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug, leading to a year suspension and changing the Haney decision to a no contest.
Therefore, Friday marked his first fight since the suspension expired, and the young boxer decided to make a statement with his entrance. Not only did he announce his return in style, but he also added to the event's setting by doing so.
Here's how Garcia chose to enter his boxing match against Rolly Romero.

Friday night's event is the first time that boxing matches took place outside and in the heart of New York City, so Garcia leaned into the Gotham theme by using Batman's iconic car as his entrance vehicle of choice.
