Undoubtedly, it is Gervonta Davis who Ryan Garcia wants to fight next. But For now, there is only one opponent for Garcia, and that is Javier. Garcia is already looking forward to fight Davis after his bout with Fortuna. It will be a big fight for both fighters as both of them are undefeated as professionals. Therefore, one of them will lose their status as undefeated, if the fight were to go through. There is much anticipation for that fight as it almost happened on several occasions before, but for one reason or another, it hasn’t materialized yet.

What do you think about Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia? Would you be interested in seeing that fight? Let us know in the comments.
