Gervonta Davis speaks about the possibility of a Ryan Garcia rematch
A highly anticipated showdown between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia took place in April 2023. 'Tank' emerged as the better fighter that night and defeated Garcia via seventh-round TKO.
Davis recently did an interview with Cigar Talk, where he spoke about potentially running it back with 'KingRy'. The 29-year-old said that he was open to a rematch with Garcia at 140 pounds:
"He's not even at 145 [pounds], that's not even a weight. [He's at catchweight]. Why can't it be 140 [pounds]?... Yeah, I'll fight him at 140 [pounds]. Bro, if you look at the fight Devin [Haney] versus Ryan and me versus Ryan, it wasn't no different. Go look at it."
