After Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis finally confirmed a bout in April 2023, promoter Oscar De La Hoya recently threw an ultimatum, and if otherwise, threatened to potentially move on from Garcia vs. Davis. Following Gervonta Davis’ recent victory over Hector Luis Garcia, Ryan Garcia took to Twitter and indicated a date i.e., 15th April for Davis. While the announcement filled boxing fans with hope, De La Hoya recently imposed a “deadline” and talked about possibly abandoning Garcia vs. Davis.

It has barely even been ten days since Davis fought Luis Garcia in the ring. However, De La Hoya seems to lack patience and desires to seal a deal by the upcoming week. “I have no contract, deadline for me is Monday or I’m moving on. #DavisGarcia,” announced ‘The Golden Boy of Boxing’. Both Garcia and Davis have explicitly stated their willingness to share the ring.
