Just a day ago, the internet sensation, Ryan Garcia, shared an honest notion of why his fight with Gervonta Davis will never come to life. Garcia asserted that Mayweather Promotions would never allow him to take on a fighter from a different promotion company. These statements prompted Leonard Ellerbe to respond to ‘King Ry’.

Ellerbe flipped the tables and put all the blame back on Garcia and Golden Boy Promotions. When asked on Twitter he said, ”GB [Golden Boy Promotions] don’t want that smoke,”

“Ryan Garcia, this not it, bruh lol, for real!! You know damn well what time of day it is so, please stop fronting for the fans,”

“You know damn well I tried to make that fight, and YOUR promoter said you had other plans. Don’t have me put the doc out there and expose it, stop playing,” (h/t Boxing News 24)

Garcia and ‘Tank’ Davis are the two biggest rivals in the fight world now. Both the undefeated stars never spare a chance to hit out at each other. After Garcia secured a win against Luke Campbell earlier this year, it seemed as if a fight between ‘King Ry’ and Davis would come to life. Unfortunately, the two teams couldn’t figure out a way to agree to a deal.

Davis vs Garcia’s fight is important for the sport in general, as it can bring in enough eyeballs and attention.

Also, ‘Tank’ now fights at the super-lightweight frame, whereas Garcia is still tracing his pathway at lightweight. Looking at how these two are taking their careers ahead, their fight seems unlikely at this point.
