The Ring has been advised that junior welterweight rivals, Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, will wear outfits customized by The Shoe Surgeon for their respective fights in the month of May.
Dominic "The Shoe Surgeon" Ciambrone is one of the most highly regarded designers in the world of custom shoe making and apparel. The Shoe Surgeon has customized shoes and outfits for numerous high-profile celebrities and athletes - including Lebron James and Usher.
The May event, which takes place in the United States, will be called Fatal Fury: City of The Wolves - as part of a collaboration between Ring Magazine and SNK Games. The game is scheduled for an April 24 release, with those who pre-order enjoying early access on the 21st, only available on PlayStation, Steam and Xbox.
The outfits, gloves and shoes - for Garcia and Haney - will be customized with the theme of Fatal Fury: City of The Wolves.

Turki Alalshikh, the owner The Ring and head of Riyadh Season, recently revealed the lineup for the springtime tripleheader.
Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs; 1 No-Contest) will face former WBA junior welterweight titleholder Rolando Romero (16-2, 13 KOs) in a bout above the junior welterweight limit. Haney (31-0, 15 KOs; 1 NC)—the former Ring/undisputed lightweight champion and WBC 140-pound titlist, will face former unified WBC/WBO junior welterweight titlist Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs).
Also included on the show, Martin Bakole (21-1, 16 KOs) and Efe Ajagba (20-1, 14 KOs) will meet in an IBF heavyweight title eliminator.
Should Garcia and Haney both come away victorious, the stage will be set for their highly anticipated rematch - which is going to take place in the fall as part of a Riyadh Season event in Saudi Arabia.
Last April in Brooklyn, Garcia dropped Haney three times to win a twelve round unanimous decision. The outcome was later changed to a no-contest when Garcia tested positive for a banned substance.
