Garcia had also spoken about fighting Davis right after his Fortuna fight. He said, “I’m never going back down to 135. I’m going to stay at 140. I’m going to fight ‘Tank’ Davis if he wants it at 140. And if he doesn’t, then I’ll go fight some 140-pounder. But he’s going to want to do it.”

‘Tank’ Davis recently intrigued fans by tweeting the word ‘Done’. Many felt that he might be subliminally referring to signing a deal with Garcia.

‘KingRy’, on the other hand, further cemented the speculations by responding to the same, barely minutes later.

It looks like boxing fans can finally gear up for one of the most volcanic showdowns in the lightweight division.
