WBA (Regular) Lightweight champion Gervonta Davis and the former WBC Interim Lightweight champion Ryan Garcia are set to lock horns this April in one of boxing’s biggest fights. The two Lightweight prospects are currently on course to become future greats in the sport and will now go head-to-head. Moreover, the heated rivalry between them only adds to the charm of this fight.

Many fans have wanted to see this fight made, but as is the case in boxing it did not happen easily. For almost two years, both camps were in talks of the fight which will now finally take place. However, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbe thinks that this fight is undoubtedly the biggest fight in the sport. He also went on to reveal some interesting facts about this matchup.

In a Twitter post, Ellerbe claimed that ‘Tank’ vs ‘KingRy’ is the biggest fight in boxing. He also added that the gate for this fight would be among the top ten live gates in the history of the sport. In addition, he also praised both fighters for making the fight happen and not ducking each other. This was not all, as the fans were quick to reach out to the 57-year-old promoter praising this fight and the fighters as well.
