Ryan Garcia beat Devin Haney in one of the biggest surprises in boxing in 2024, but the biggest of all came when King Ry tested positive for a banned substance and criticism rained down on him from all sides, but there are still people who believe in him, as is the case of Gervonta Davis, who believes in his innocence and is willing to give him a rematch.
Gervonta Davis is willing to give Ryan Garcia a second chance
Davis assured that he will fight Ryan Garcia again at 140 pounds and won’t give it up with all the abuse he is taking for his reported positive PED tests from his fight against Devin Haney.
“145? He’s not even at 145. Why can’t he be at 140?” said Davis to Cigar Talk about a rematch with Garcia. “I’ll fight him at 140.”
Weight could be an issue, as Tank pointed out that Garcia‘s weight class is 140 pounds, not 143-145. The purse for Gervonta would be much bigger if he agrees to give Ryan a rematch instead of taking on guys like Frank Martin or anyone else in his own weight class.
The weight where Davis fights in recent years is at 135 pounds, so Garcia would have to move down a weight class, and the first time they faced each other was at 136 pounds with a 10-pound rehydration clause.
Davis is scheduled to return to action on June 15 against Frank Martin, so he will certainly have a lot of options available to him if he makes it through that fight successfully, and before the end of 2024 it is very likely that Gervonta and Ryan will step back into the ring.
