‘King Ry’ continued, “All I am gonna say is, Gervonta, even if you were my height, you wouldn’t beat me, man!… Let’s see what you can do and let’s get it on, that’s how I really want to say it.”

Garcia asserted that such throwing of shots at each other is just to add-on to the hype and entice the fans. He admitted having crossed the line, but that did not stop ‘KingRy’ from warning ‘Tank’ over a 2-round knockout.

As Garcia believes, this is the biggest lightweight fight in boxing history where two prominent young guns will collide with each other in their prime. Also, the pair desperately wanting to get their hands on each other just adds up to the hype.
