According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, lightweight’s Ryan Martin and Bryant Cruz will be the opening bout of the March 18th Gennady Golovkin – Daniel Jacobs PPV card at Madison Square Garden.
“Fighting at the Garden is a huge opportunity for my team and me, especially being on the undercard of the biggest fight of the year,” said the 23-year-old Martin, who was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and fights out of Cleveland. “On March 18 fans in attendance and viewers from around the globe will see why I’m among boxing’s best prospects.”
“I am hungry and excited to get back in the ring, especially on such a big card,” Cruz said. “Fighting an undefeated prospect shows that I’m willing to face anyone to get to the top and will take any opportunity that comes my way. I am bringing my A-game on March 18 and will get the win.”
“We’re thrilled to add this compelling fourth fight to the outstanding March 18 event,” Golovkin promoter Tom Loeffler said. “Ryan Martin and Bryant Cruz are two exciting, young lightweights and it’s the perfect action-packed fight to kick off the telecast and the main card at the Mecca of boxing, Madison Square Garden.”
