Jordan has been an avid boxing fan which is shown in his latest movie. Moreover, even Davis had high praise for Creed III on Twitter which he later deleted. Now, ‘Tank’ has even responded to Jordan picking him over Garcia to win.

In an interview with FightHype, Davis was asked what he thought about Jordan picking him to win. He first went on to praise the movie and was appreciative of Jordan choosing him, also making fun of Garcia in the process. “Fire, I think the movie fire. I think Michael B. Jordan definitely a great actor. Definitely appreciate him for having me over, Queen Ryan,” he said.

Davis certainly looks confident in his chances heading into the fight. However, Garcia is also no pushover in any sense. The pre-fight banter adds to the entertainment value of the event and Davis knows perfectly well how to play mind games.
