After losing to Gervonta Davis in April, Ryan Garcia is looking for a rematch, arguing that when they met, he wasn’t at his best.

In an interview with Fight Hub TV, ‘KingRy’ said he is better than Gervonta and will do whatever it takes to get a rematch.

“I wanna get my rematch at the right weight,” Garcia told Fight Hub TV. “He knows it wasn’t who I really was, I don’t really care what anyone says, I don’t fight like that.

“I’m way better than that, and I’m better than him. I don’t care if he beat me, I’m better than him. Give me my rematch and I’ll beat him.

“I’m going to build myself up again… If I’ve gotta go through a Teofimo Lopez or a Devin Haney to get that, then I’m gonna do it.”

The 25-year-old boxer indicated that he will continue to fight at between 140 and 147 pounds until he steps back into the ring against ‘Tank’, according to The Sportster.

The possibility of a rematch between the two doesn’t look that complex, as the Garcia-Gervonta fight reportedly had more than 1.2 million PPV buys and generated approximately $22.8 million from ticket sales.

Gervonta won’t fight again until 2024

In September, Gervonta said he would not fight for the remainder of 2023 and would focus on personal issues.

It should be recalled that the boxer is tied up in a legal matter related to a hit-and-run incident in May 2021.

And although he wasn’t initially expected to serve jail time, he ended up spending most of a 90-day sentence in prison.
