Ryan Garcia versus Gervonta Davis, ’23

Both Davis and Garcia are at the top of their game. Davis has won all the twenty-seven bouts he has fought so far; slightly less than the Baltimorean, Garcia has won all twenty-three matches of his professional career.

Though Tank has a slight edge regarding the knockout-to-win rate, having won twenty-five good bouts through knockouts, at 93%, his knockout rate is more than Garcia‘s – 83%.

Many boxing conservatives believe celebrity boxing has taken the sheen off their beloved sport. However, to regain the luster, some of the best in the business must match themselves out in the ring.

The talks on a Fight of the Year 

The talks for the fight have been going on for the last two years. It became important in double measure as both are in their prime and still have quite a few more years of boxing left to stage a rematch if the upcoming fight ends unfavorably for either one.

Lauding their spirits to engage each other despite several hurdles, Showtime Sports’ Stephen Espinoza said, “Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia is one of the biggest and most exciting fights that can be made in boxing. We have two supremely talented boxers, both in their prime, who have amassed huge fanbases, meeting in a career defining fight. “This is the epitome of a crossover boxing event. All credit to Tank and Ryan for staying the course and giving the fans the fight they want.”

Issues over telecast are sorted to pave the way for what many deem a memorable fight. Mayweather Promotions and PBC’s Al Hayman, who care for Gervonta, have Showtime as their prime broadcaster.
