In terms of boxing, it is one of the most significant events in recent memory. There hasn’t been a single loss in the ring for either Garcia or Davis.

Davis warned Garcia not to bring his family to the fight during their heated conversation. Besides, he cautioned him that he would break the latter’s jaw. “I touch that jaw; I’m telling you going to sleep…..promise you, once I touch that jaw, you want to sleep. I probably break your jaws. Facts!” One of the highlights of the press conference was when Gervonta Davis flashed $100k on Ryan Garcia’s face.

Unperturbed, the Californian responded, “I bet you do love that. Hey hold that real hard. Hold that real. Hey you’ll learn one day when you grow up that ain’t what it really is about brother you can find out the hard way, the hard way.” ‘Tank’ also shot back, saying, “It’s prizefighting, stupid.”
Davis would enter the ring on Saturday after a successful title defense against Hector Luis Garcia on January 7. Garcia, on the other hand, fought Javier Fortuna on July 16 last year. The Baltimorean edges the Californian archrival as the favorite to win. However, with 93% of his wins coming from knockouts, the southpaw’s mortifying blows might prove too much for Garcia to bear.
