The Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Davis showdown has been one of the most anticipated fights in the lightweight division. While the duo has been feuding for a while, there has not been much news about an actual fight between the two. However, the president of Showtime Sports, Stephen Espinoza, recently revealed that a Garcia vs Davis fight might just be around the corner.

Town Bizznizz, recently caught up with Espinoza, at the Deontay Wilder vs Robert Helenius fight venue. During the conversation, he mentioned that the fight between Errol Spence Jr., and Terence Crawford, will be taking place soon.

This was when the reporter asked him about updates on a potential Garcia vs Davis fight. Espinoza responded, saying, “I think that’s very close as well. I mean we, you know, we sort of largely have a deal in place. You know there’s some details still to be worked out. TV networks need to be worked out, you know. Our position is very clear, you know. And, we’ll see you know, we’ll see what everyone says.”

He mentioned that both Garcia and Davis both wish to fight each other. He further added, “But I think you know in terms of fighters, Ryan wants that fight next. Tank wants that fight next.”
