Cinco De Mayo Boxing Weekend Schedule - From Canelo To Garcia To Inoue, All The Fights For The Greatest Boxing Weekend!

Boxing and Cinco De Mayo have a long, storied connection. The holiday, which commemorates the Mexican military’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, has become synonymous with huge boxing events over the years. Mexican and Mexican-American fighters often headline these cards. Legends like Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather helped establish this tradition. Canelo Alvarez has since taken up the mantle as boxing’s Cinco De Mayo star. The weekend has hosted some of the most memorable fights in recent boxing history.

The 2025 Cinco De Mayo weekend is shaping up to be something special for fight fans. Not just one big event, but a full weekend packed with star power. Three different cities will host major boxing cards over three consecutive days. From New York to Saudi Arabia to Las Vegas, boxing’s biggest names will step into the ring. The scheduling allows hardcore fans to catch every bout without conflicts. Let us break down what promises to be the most action-packed boxing weekend of the year.

Romero brings his own brand of chaos to this matchup. The outspoken fighter has never lacked confidence despite setbacks. His awkward style and surprising power could pose problems for Garcia. The New York crowd will surely be electric for this clash of personalities and styles.

The same New York card features undefeated Devin Haney against Jose Ramirez. Haney’s technical brilliance has earned him comparison to Floyd Mayweather. Jose Ramirez brings a relentless pressure style that contrasts sharply with Haney’s approach. His body punching and constant forward movement could test Haney’s composure.

Rounding out the New York card is Teofimo Lopez facing Arnold Barboza Jr. Lopez. Lopez’s combination of technical fighting skill and explosive power makes him dangerous. His loud personality has also made him one of boxing’s most entertaining characters. Barboza has flown under the radar despite an impressive record. His patient counter-punching style could frustrate the sometimes overly-aggressive Lopez. This potential sleeper hit might steal the show on Friday night in New York.

Here is the full fight card for the first Cinco De Mayo Boxing Weekend Card:

Fight	Weight Class
Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero	Welterweight
Devin Haney vs Jose Ramirez	Super Lightweight
Teofimo Lopez vs Arnold Barboza Jr.	Super Lightweight (WBO Title)
