Now that Ryan Garcia has broken Devin Haney’s winning streak, who is his target? Will it be Gervonta Davis? The fighter’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya remains uninterested in a rematch between the two leading fighters. However, to get that fight rolling, he mentioned one pertinent condition that ‘Tank’ would have to abide by to fight ‘KingRy’ again.

Last April, Gervonta Davis, now Abdul Wahid, handed Ryan Garcia his first career loss with a brutal 7th-round knockout. This setback clearly shook “KingRy.” Not only did he endure heavy criticism for his performance that night, but a cloud of uncertainty also began to loom over his budding boxing career. Now, after the Haney upset, he’s propelled himself beyond these criticisms. So, is it finally time for him to get a shot at redemption against Tank?

Will we see a Ryan Garcia vs. Gervonta Davis 2?

In the wake of his victory over ‘The Dream’, Garcia was asked by many about a possible rematch with Tank. To them, he underscored that even if Tank defeated Frank Martin in their upcoming June 15 clash, there still would not be a rematch between them. Why? Because the fighter was moving up the weights. He noted, “I’m not going to 140, I’m going to 147.”

However, ‘Golden Boy’ in his conversation with the media, recently, also explained that the only way Tank could fight Garcia now would be at a catchweight of 143 or 144. Fight Hype recorded him saying, “Ryan Garcia told me he can’t make 140, so, he would want to fight at 143 or 144. Yeah, anybody who wants to fight him, call me at 144, and we make the fight happen.” For his fight against Haney, the California native missed weight by about 3.2 lbs, losing a shot at Haney’s title.

Now, he is certain that he cannot make 140. So, he asserted to fight only at 144 or above. In a fresh X post, he addressed a fight against “little Stupid tank.” In a direct call for a rematch, he wrote, “Come see me at 144 and let stop the talk…If you beat frank let’s run it @Gervontaa.” In a collage, he compared himself from their initial fight to where he stands now. As he did that, he called on Tank for a fight at a higher weight, where he can be comfortable this time around. “Let’s run it’s ABDUL!!!,” he called out in the post.

If not Tank then who?

25-year-old Garcia seems to be running high on his victory. He is relentlessly calling on anyone and everyone for a fight. Moments after he challenged Tank for a rematch, he also expressed his fervent wishes to fight Sebastian Fundora, Rolando Romero, and Isaac Cruz. In an X post, he wrote, “Fundora for the 154 title…Rollies…Or pitbull  ‘this one would be hard to make’.

Speaking about the multiple fighters Garcia has challenged for a possible fight, Oscar De La Hoya told the media, “That’s the beauty of Ryan. Now, we have to believe him. Now, we have to like, we can’t be scratching our heads anymore with Ryan and saying, ‘Is he going to get in the ring?’ ‘Is he going to fight?’ No. Ryan is the perfect marketer for himself. He’s great for boxing.”

In his late March fight against Tim Tszyu, Sebastian Fundora defeated Tszyu to grab his WBO super welterweight as well as the vacant WBC title. ‘Rolly’ and ‘Pitbull’ Cruz on the other hand fought on the same card as Tszyu and Fundora. Pitbull in that fight defeated Rolly to grab his WBA super lightweight belt through an 8th-round knockout. Now it remains to be seen in which direction Ryan Garcia will go.
