Ryan Garcia wants Gervonta Davis next

Garcia is looking to set up a fight with Gervonta Davis. Davis is the No.1-ranked lightweight, according to BoxRec. Many consider Davis to be the best lightweight fighter despite Devin Haney being the Undisputed Champion at lightweight. Haney’s former promoter Eddie Hearn has claimed that Ryan Garcia is the biggest fighter in the division and Gervonta Davis is the best fighter. Garcia and Davis have traded shots on Twitter over the last couple of years. After Garcia called out Davis following the Fortuna fight, ‘Tank’ implied there was a possibility of the taking place later this year. Gervonta Davis would be a massive step-up for Garcia as he has not fought anyone of that caliber before. Just as Garcia got the biggest win of his career, a stoppage victory against Luke Campbell, ‘KingRy’ took a step back from boxing to focus on his mental health. As such, Garcia lost the momentum that he had following five straight stoppage wins. Garcia, however, appears to be regaining what he lost following the knockout of Javier Fortuna. He was already to win, but he managed to do so in spectacular fashion. Watch Garcia discuss a future fight with Gervonta Davis and breakdown his victory over Javier Fortuna: Poll : 0 votes Thank You!
