On May 6, 2025, Times Square transformed into an outdoor boxing venue for the first time with the event 'Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.' Headlined by Ryan Garcia, this historic match showcased not just boxing, but the vibrant energy of Times Square itself. The ring was uniquely positioned in front of prominent locations like ABC's 'Good Morning America' and surrounded by notable establishments. Viewers expressed confusion over the blockades but were unaware of the landmark event taking place. Iconic figures like Bill Haney highlighted the significance of the location, making it an unforgettable night.
"I've been in fights with 50,000 people and I would have to say this is the most iconic, historic fight that I've witnessed in my entire life," Bill told ESPN.
"This is an exclusive, big match," a security worker replied. Many onlookers didn't know they were witnessing history.
When told the area was restricted, the local let out her frustration, saying, 'She came all the way out here for Times Square to be blocked off. I don't even know what's going on.'
