#2. Leo Santa Cruz warns Ryan Garcia of Gervonta Davis' KO power
In an interview with Fight Hype, Leo Santa Cruz, a former opponent of Gervonta Davis, shared some insight into 'Tank's KO-power and what that could mean for Ryan Garcia if they step into the ring together.
Santa Cruz stated:
"It's going to be a good fight, you know, but I think if 'Tank' catches him, he could knock him out. But also Ryan could hurt 'Tank' Davis, so it's a pretty even fight. If I had to bet something, I think I'm probably 'Tank' Davis."

#1. Logan Paul shows support for his brother after canceled Hasim Rahman Jr. boxing event
On an episode of IMPAULSIVE, Logan Paul discussed finding out the fight between his brother Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr. had been canceled.
Logan Paul stated:
"At what point do you not want to try to make the weight because you're a little nervous? At what point is it not worth it? I can't believe it. I can't believe a social media star is scaring off the real boxers. They're all backing out, the kid can't get a fight."
This is now the third time a Jake Paul boxing fight has been canceled. Two instances came from Tommy Fury, who pulled out due to illness the first time and was banned from entering the United States the second. Now Hasim Rahman Jr., who was picked as a replacement for the Tommy Fury fight, was unable to make weight.
