Gervonta Davis had a FaceTime call with Garcia’s father, Henry Garcia. ‘Tank’ posted a screenshot of the call on his Instagram, while Michael Benson also shared it on Twitter yesterday, stating, “Gervonta Davis on FaceTime with Ryan Garcia’s father Henry Garcia today…”  

Both fighters are at the top of their careers and are ruling the lightweight division. A clash between the two had quickly become the talk of the town as both boxers are undefeated until now.
