Alittle over a year ago, Gervonta Davis gave Ryan Garcia a resounding knockout in seven rounds. Like any good athlete, “King Ryan” was not very satisfied with the defeat and today he is looking for revenge for a stratospheric sum of money.
The fight, held on April 22 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, was one of the most anticipated of the year. It ended in the seventh round when “Tank” Davis landed a solid hook to the liver. Garcia couldn’t get up at the count of 10, and Davis emerged victorious.
Although they are bitter rivals in the ring, Garcia and Davis have developed a good friendship and apparently exchange messages with some regularity, as demonstrated by recent screenshots that Ryan shared on one of his social media accounts.
In the middle of the conversation, Garcia made it clear that he would like to set up a rematch with Davis, with a substantial purse involved. Although “Tank” did not give a concrete answer, the prize proposed by Garcia could tempt the current lightweight champion of the World Boxing Association (WBA).
ill there be a Garcia vs. Davis rematch?
In a message dated May 26, Garcia offered Davis a deal: “Bro, can we run it back again?” referring to a rematch for their fight from April last year. He also proposed a sum for the purse to be shared, “Make 200ms,” the Californian suggested.
At that time, Davis still had his fight against Frank Martin pending. “Beat Frank up and let’s make real bank,” proposed “King Ryan” and even gave Davis some advice for the fight, saying, “BODY SHOT.”
“Yepppp,” “Tank” responded, and Garcia reiterated, “Cool body shot bro. He is weak to the body.” “And to the chin,” Davis completed.
